You never have to leave a trail. There's a decent use trail all the way to the summit from the west side.
Following up on hgrapid's note, the use trail to the summit starts at the 3.04 mile mark on the Alta Trail. You can't miss it since there is a very obvious trail post. From here, it's just under 100' vertical feet to the top.
