Pete's Rock on Wasatch Blvd. In the distance is downtown Salt Lake City.
Above is a bunch of strange lingering exhaust from airplanes.

From near the beginning of the trail coming around the corner
to see part of what's ahead of us.

Lot's of colorful autumn leaves appearing.

I was here 6 years ago to the day, taking similar pictures.

Blister Ridge, with the infamous Blister Hill next to it.
In the top left you can see the North and South Summits of Mount Olympus.

Strange rock formations everywhere.

The North and South summits of Mount Olympus.
The South Summit is higher.

From the saddle looking south toward Sandy and Draper, with Lone Peak on the left.

Nice captures of the hike utahpictures! I love the interactive tool where you can turn the trail/names on and off. Three years ago-Sept hiking here-metaphorically in my mind was... although it seemed unreachable - simply placing one foot in front of the other... one step would be ON TOP....
