Eric Boston 2008-10-12 Hiked it during a snow squall and what seemed to be light flurries in downtown SLC made near white out conditions just over a thousand feet in elevation! It's probably the most convenient downtown hike Da burger Salt Lake City 2008-06-10 Hiked this peak about 7 times, and for the conservation of gas, I'm not gonna hike it again. Me and my family live on 5600 west and 4700 south, and gas is really expensive so we decided to only hike big and important peaks, such as Mount Olympus, Grandeur peak. Basically any peak above 6,000 ft. My record for this hike was 15 minutes, and dam, you climbed it in 5 minutes, thats quite fast, basically running up the hill. dave salt lake city 2008-05-14 I Love going there with a girl.

It resembles the beauty of the South American Andes. The residents of Salt Lake City were quite hospitable and kind. I would come back but for holidays.
