We hiked up to kyhv peak. The first couple of miles is a gradual climb. The next couple of miles is all steep up hill. The views are amazing from the top.
A really fun hike especially this time of the season because of the spring run-off! Even with all the water rushing you're still able to hike all the way without getting wet. If you take a right the Kyhv fork you can make it to a hill that has an amazing view of the back of Kyhv and Y mountain, as well as Cascade and Provo Peak.
Popular trail running water many good paths and plenty of over hang and beautiful views. Great hike any day
Was really pretty, especially with all the changing colors. Starts off with paved and packed dirt and then changes to loose gravel. Hike is kind of steep especially more so in some areas. I would not recommend it for beginners. I only made it up to first bridge. It doesn’t help that I haven’t been hiking in a while and my sister took me the first morning after I got here, so not use to the elevation either.
Did some winter hiking, got to use spikes. Thank you to whomever packed the snow on the trail, especially up on top. Plenty of people and dogs are using the trails. This is an all season trail. Just come prepared, it is busy in summer and fall.
One of my favorite easy hikes. The trail is well maintained and there are two drinking fountains along the way. There are 5 bridges that cross the creek along the way up. Occasionally a deer or two. I once had an encounter with a moose just past the Squaw Peak turnoff. Beware of rattlesnakes if you're going off the beaten path.
Great hike and awesome views when you get nearer the campground. It's almost %100 uphill from the trailhead to the campground, but never gets steep at all. It's about an eight mile round trip. Took my wife and I about six hours but we were taking our time.
Probably the best hike in Utah county. Because of that it's probably the most crowded trail as well. To avoid the crowds start before 9am (It's cooler then anyways as an added bonus.) Dogs are allowed as well!
