hike: cascade mountain via dry fork canyon and south ridge - September 12, 2020
LIMITED TO 6 and FULL. Cascade Mountain is that gnarly looking ridge/peak on the south side of Provo Canyon and is much less crowded than Timpanogos. 10,908 feet elevation, 13.0 miles round trip, and 5,398 feet gain. Expect a very early morning start. Anticipate scrambling, exposure, and a moderate pace. This will be both Akiko and Kathleen's first time hiking Cascade Mountain. Drive time from SLC will be about 1 hour to trailhead. As suggested by public health authorities, be prepared for social distancing, symptom questions, and use of hand sanitizer and face coverings (buffs work well while recreating).
