Wasatch MountainsThe forest service has moved the entrance
into Bell's Canyon south and now has it's own parking area.
The hike involves a very rock laden trail.
We bushwhacked up between the Middle Bell Tower and the West
Bell Tower, a very difficult task. We reached the summit of
the West Bell Tower and then climbed down the talus between
the West Bell Tower and the Far West Bell Tower, on the way
down there were 3 dangerous down climbs, not very difficult,
but a mistake could have been a nightmare. We should have
brought a rope and rappel gear.

The Far West Bell Tower. We scrambled down the crevice on the right
of it.
The Middle Bell Tower,
the smooth granite section is home to the classic rock climb,
"Arm and Hammer" III 5.11d which climbs over a long flake
known as "The Zion Curtain".
A huge overhung roof to the west of The Middle Bell Tower.

On top of the West Bell Tower looking north into Little Cottonwood Canyon,
here you can see The Coffin, The Sail and The Egg. The Coffin

fishing is great up belle canyon - you can try using flys in the evenings. You can catch pretty good sized trout if you go during the right time.

You should do a hike to Upper Bells Reservoir. It consists of hopping from one giant granite slab to the next for hours, but the views are amazing. It was the longest 3 3/4 miles I have ever hiked. Camping at the upper reservoir is nice, and the fishing is amazing. Yeah the golden plates existed!?, and so did Joseph Smith's weed smoking salamander.

Those vaults contain the church's genealogy records. The golden plates aren't there and no one will shoot you.
