A Snowbird Tradition: Hiking Hidden Peak

As we do every year, a few of us hiked to the top of Hidden Peak. The beginning of the trail is at 8000ft and it is 4 miles to Hidden Peak which is at 11000 ft. My goal each year is to make it in under 2 hours. This year I hiked with my cousin Mark and his wife Stacia. We hiked in about an hour and 50 minutes. We were the only ones on the trail and the first ones on top of Hidden Peak that day (except for Snowbird employees). It was a great day to hike but windy up top. Alexis started about an hour after us and ran to the top. Then Derek rode the tram up with Evan and Greta to meet us.

This is part of the trail is in the Peruvian Gulch.

Greta was so kind to carry my backpack for me.

Holly, you always have the best pictures of the Peruvian Gulch trail. Next year I won't leave so late after you- it was lonely going to the top without ever seeing you all.
