Lewis Peak

You can access Lewis Peak from both North Ogden Divide Trailhead and Windsurfer Beach Trailhead. From North Ogden Divide Trailhead to Lewis peak is 5.3 miles with a 2400 foot elevation gain. Average hiking time is 4-6 hours.

The first 2.5 miles from the trailhead is a steady climb through the pines, switchbacking up the south side of the canyon. Once on top of the ridge though, the view is excellent into the Ogden Valley. The views south of the north face of Mt. Ogden are great as well. Looking north, Ben Lomond looms large over the valley. The trail continues up steadily over a smaller peak. At this point you are east of the summit about 2.5 miles. Once at the top of the smaller peak, it's an easy trail up to the summit. The trail is well maintained and easy to follow. Once on top, you'll be treated to views across the Great Salt Lake, Willard Bay, and the Promontory Range. On clear days, mostly in winter, Pilot Peak on the Nevada/Utah border can be seen. The west face is very rugged and steep with several cliff bands. This area has become popular with the rock climbers.

From Windsurfer Beach Trailhead to Lewis Peak is 8.1 miles with a 3900 foot elevation gain. Average hiking time is 6-9 hours.
