session mountain hike above bountiful - September 18, 2016

If you want to try something new this hike to the mountain top above Bountiful is for you. Expect cooler temps, the start of fall colors, few other hikers on the trail, 360 degree view including Antelope and Stansbury islands and beyond as well as Francis Peak and Lone Peak, and the great western trail. This will be a slower paced hike averaging roughly 1.2mph going up. Plan on hiking for about six hours. The hike will start at 9am. The trailhead has restrooms. Bring snacks, three litres of water, and the 10 Essentials. Driving directions: on I-15 take exit 316 (500 South Bountiful) heading East towards the mountains. Continue east 1.9 miles and then make a right turn onto Lakeview Drive. It starts heading south but eventually winds its way east and after .9 miles intersects with Bountiful Boulevard. Make a left heading north on Bountiful Boulevard for one block, and the trailhead will be on your right.
