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.

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.

I actually don't beleive the golden plates ever existed, it's just what was told to me by mormons while I was growing up.

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