MillCreek Canyon
Elbow Fork
Wasatch Mountains
Salt Lake City, Utah
Mount Aire is one of the shorter hikes to get a summit view.
It is steep, and depending on when you hike it - goes from
a dusty trail to a slippery mud trail. On top of Mount Aire
there is a lot of sandstone, which is usually not found in
the southern Wasatch.There was water in the drying stream
but it soon becomes a trinkle near the pass.
Looking south to Alexander Basin, Gobblers Knob, Mount Raymond
and in the distance Twin Peaks. Below you can sort of make out Elbow
Fork.
