The trail starts from the parking lot at the top of the North Ogden Divide. The first 1.5 miles are steep and very rocky in places. The gain is about 1300' in 1.5 miles, but after you get past that initial climb the trail is mostly rolling with gradual climbing until the peak is reached. Great views of the Ogden Valley as well as the cities of Ogden and North Ogden. Peak wildflower viewing is around mid July. There could be patchy snow on the trail through mid June. if you want even more vertical, there are several smaller peaks that have trails up and over them, or you can go around on the trail. Be aware that this trail is open to motorcycles. I have found the motorcyclists to be very courteous to those of us hiking and running. Round trip mileage is 10.5 miles with about 2700' of gain.
