Pioneer Peak







This is a very nice hike that doesn't get a lot of traffic. I parked at the the spot that the jeep trail leads off from UT 220. The jeep trail is passable by any 4x4 for at least a mile, the next section is passable by a real jeep and an ATV could make it all the way to the saddle that overlooks Brighton. The trail is often quite steep and has switch backs to climb up to the ridge. From the saddle that overlooks Brighton there is about a quarter mile of single track trail that traverses the ridge up to the peak. It is sketchy in a few spots and but there really is trail that goes al the way to the peak.

A very nice view from the summit, Sunset Peak to the southwest, Millicent, Tuscarora and Wolverine to the northwest and Clayton Peak to the northeast. You can see the top of the tram at Snowbird in the distance as well as...
