Neffs Ridge - Neffs Canyon - Olympus Cove

Wasatch Mountains - Salt Lake City, Utah

Neffs Ridge is the ridge between Grandeur Peak and Mount Olympus. It is probably the best place to get a picture of Mount Olympus' slab walls.

From the Neffs Canyon Parking Lot look up the ridge to the northeast. There are diagonal slabs near the top of the Ridge. This is the best vantage area to see the views on Neffs Ridge. There is no real trail, just deer paths through bramble, up a steep grade. The hike is very difficult, but the views are incredible, just after hiking a small portion of the way up the ridge.

We hiked up Neffs Canyon past the junction to North's Fork, past the gray rock spires, continued until we were underneath the light orange cliffbands, and then just cut straight up the ridge through the trees and bramble, until we found a nice system of deer paths that led us underneath the cliffbands, and then up to the base to the top of Neffs Ridge. We just found openings in the brush and slowly cut up to the high point on the ridge. From the top, the views make the whole battle worth it.

We went down the ridge straight toward Neffs Canyon Parking Lot. It would probably be a bit easier from along this ridge, but it's about twice as long. If you stay high along the ridge, you will find the most options and routes.

I would suggest bringing some long pants, a long sleeve shirt and some gloves.
