Deseret Peak Hike

Jeffry and I left Orem at 6:30am, the GPS was estimating 1 hr 30 min to drive to the trailhead. It was a pretty good estimate so we arrived, took a natural break and were on our way at 8:05am. About 15 min into the hike there is a tricky navigation spot on the trail. I was lucky that Jeffry had read a trip report carefully and we were able to stay on the correct trail. A sign would help hikers like the ones we talked to near the peak that missed the correct trail at that spot
We caught up with a pair of hikers that we leaving the trailhead as we drove up. We chatted with them for a bit. They had both hiked Deseret Peak several times and recommended the north trail down from the peak. They both work at Dugway Proving Grounds and live in Tooele.
