Grandeur Peak Hogback Route
Wasatch Mountains

Dragon Tail Ridge
Views of Mount Olympus
The Hogback
Rattlesnakes

This was the first place I went when I started this site about 8 years ago... It felt weird returning here, I felt a bit older and wiser. I remember this rock structure always interested me, seeing it from Highway 2-15 every day on my way to work.


There are between 5 and 7 sub ridges on the west face of Grandeur Peak, all of them have trails up to the peak. This is a STEEP hike no matter where you start. The easiest trail from the west side of Grandeur is the clear trail up one of the first ridges from the north. It would be the first one you see if you are coming up the entrance trail.
