 From along the beginning of the trail, looking northeast. From here you can see, White Baldy, Red Baldy and American Fork Twin Peaks.  Looking west toward the Sub Peak east of Box Elder. 
Looking southwest near the Wide Hollow Overlook.  The cabin ruins near Wide Hollow Overlook. 
Looking west toward Mill Canyon Peak down Wide Hollow.  From the saddle to Box Elder Peak looking southeast down Wide Hollow You have to scramble over loose shale and limestone.  This is the base of Box Elder Peak as seen from the south saddle  Strange limestone formations  The Box Elder Hoodoo  Looking east toward the Uinta Mountains  Nearing the summit.  Just below the summit, I started around the east side of Box Elder Peak and saw this large family of Mountain Goats.  I looked down and there was this guy just sitting there, chewin' grass, seconds later he turned his head and looked at me. I didn't take a picture, because I didn't know what he would do.  I didn't move, but he took off running.  He noticed that I wasn't chasing him, so he stopped to take a better look at me. He could have kicked my butt off the mountain.  Shane reaching the summit.  Box Elder Peak Summit 11,101' Looking north toward American Fork Twin Peaks. The summit log is full.  Looking east toward the Sub Peak 10,138' I think there is a route that climbs up this ridge. (I'm not sure)  Red Baldy, Red Top, American Fork Twin Peaks, Unknown  Looking south toward Mount Timpanogos and Santaquinn Peak in the far distance. You can see the goat herd in the bowl and the highlighted area on the mountain in front of us.  From the summit, looking northwest toward the giant gnarled limestone strata. Limestone is malleable and can be folded, unlike granite and quatzite which shatter when put under stress.  From the summit looking north west toward Lone Peak and Bell's Canyon Peak.  Looking north to the Pfeifferhorn, behind is Broads Fork Twin Peaks, Sunrise and Dromedary.  Thunder Mountain, and the Pfeifferhorn, Cottonwood Ridge in the distance.  Looking north toward White Baldy and American Fork Twin Peaks. 
White Baldy with Monte Cristo and the Cottonwood Ridge in the far distance.  A huge pika cache, they spend all summer storing up food for the winter, they don't hibernate.  Shane coming down the west side of Box Elder Peak.  Going down Box Elder Peak  Looking south toward Mount Timpanogos  Oquirrh Range, South Mountain, Point of the Mountain, Traverse Mountains and Alpine City  Utah Lake, Mahogany Mountain (base of Timpanogos) and Mount Nebo, in the far distance.
