Start at the Silver Lake Trail in Brighton Ski Resort, continue
north around the trail, over a bridge and onto a clearly marked
fork in the trail. Take the left trail, the one that says Twin
Lakes. Once you get close to Twin Lakes you will see a bolder
covered peak to the southeast. Follow the obvious trail until
you get to the top of the ski lift. From there start scrambling
up the boulder piles
Looking up the bouldery scramble to the summit of Mount Millicent.
This is good practice to get an idea of what it is like to climb the
punishing
boulder taluses of Lone Peak, Broads Fork Twin Peaks and Kings Peak.
The only difference is the fact it is only about 1/4 the distance
and when you begin this talus you aren't already burned out.
From along the beginning of the trail looking east over Silver Lake
toward Guardsmans Pass and Peak 10,420.
Coming up on Wolverine Cirque to the south.
From the summit of Mount Millicent looking south toward Mount Wolverine.
Mount Tuskarora, which sits just east of Mount Wolverine
Looking east toward Clayton Peak or "Mount Majestic"
Peak 10,420 and Clayton Peak.
In the far distance you can see the massive Uninta Mountains.
The dragon-spine peaks of Kessler Peak
to the northwest.
Lake Mary (Formerly two lakes Pheobe and Mary)
Further up from Lake Mary is Lake Martha
Further up from Lake Martha is Lake Catherine, which sits below Sunset
Peak.
Sunset Peak is the Convergence Point for 4 Canyons:
Big Cottonwood, LittleCottonwood, American Fork, Snake Creek.

Pioneer Peak and Sunet Peak
Pioneer Peak
I call this Mickey Mouse Hill because of the well positioned mine
dumps below.
