Yes, it was great! Thanks for watching!

Haha yeah that climb up to Anderson pass was brutal with the packs. I hear that, definitely a place for suffering!

Thanks for watching! Yes, a lot of people will make this a two day trip from Henry's Fork Trailhead. There are a couple lakes you can camp at before going up Gunsight Pass. A popular place to camp is Dollar Lake. From there you'll be just over 5 miles to the summit if you take the shortcut after Gunsight. There isn't much water up over Gunsight Pass. Dollar Lake and the other lakes below Gunsight are the typical places to camp before doing Kings the next morning.

@@takeahike4861 - Super helpful. Thank you! Love your content.

@neilb505 Sorry for the late reply! This was filmed in January. When you asked the question there probably wouldn't have been any snow up there at all. By April/May this trail should be pretty clear depending on how much snow there was during the winter.

@daughteroftheking1671 Sorry for the late reply! There is usually snow up there well into June. This is usually a July/August hike for us. It depends on how crazy the winter is. We all took around 2 liters of water.

Dang it’s not there anymore??

Sucks people would really ruin something like that I had a feeling

Hey! We need to upload some more videos, it's been a busy year, we might have some new videos in the next couple months!

@@takeahike4861 Don't feel pressured to keep doing RUclips if you don't like it :) although i will always be happy to have you on the platform

@@thefrogggy100 Thank you! Things have been busy but we should be doing more videos soon!

These are the coordinates for the trailhead on AllTrails: 40.242340, -111.577670 There is a section in the road that kind of looks like a parking area, it's right at the bottom of the trail if you're coming from the west from the Slate Canyon side. And then to the east you will see the ATV road that goes up to Provo Peak, about a half mile up that road you'll turn right onto a single track trail and that is the trail that goes to the summit.

We need to post again! And Millville Peak would be awesome! We haven't done any hikes up in the Logan area.

Ah ok. Um if you hike up saddle rock (also known as castle rock) then you can get to some pretty cool areas back there. Providence canyon area.

@@lowqualitystuff7181 Ok cool! That's good to know! I definitely want to get up there and hike.

According to Strava and AllTrails that was Little Baldy. And correct, there isn't a trail up to it, we bushwhacked to the top.

Ah I think I see the confusion here, this is Little Baldy above Dry Canyon in Orem, Utah. There are more than 20 peaks in Utah with "Baldy" in the name.

Oh ok. The one i’m talking about is the one overlooking Providence Canyon (left side). There’s Temple Baldy nearby, and Castle Rock/Saddle Rock before that. Never been on it, but planning to do it in a week or so

@@lowqualitystuff7181 Ah, that makes sense. Did you end up going up there?

We haven't done that one yet, but it is definitely on our list! Have you done it? How is it?

I haven't done it I just see the mountain every day, I've seen flat tops neighboring peaks like Kelsey peak on your chanel, but I've heard with flat top you gotta be careful with property's and what not

@@simonlarsen1090 Ok cool, makes sense. Yeah I really liked Kelsey peak. And definitely, you do have to ask permission from the property owner but I've heard that they are really quick to give permission they just like people to ask first before crossing their property.

Thanks Todd! Haha I appreciate that, other people made fun of my hat but it definitely made a difference haha. That's awesome, nice work! Thanks for the kind words!

@@takeahike4861 Being able to keep that high altitude (less atmosphere to filter the UV) sun off your face/ears/neck is actually a huge deal. People who think a baseball cap is a shade hat, might consider taking some pictures of themselves in the sun, and see how much shade they are actually getting.

Haha definitely. Left a like on your video! And thank you!

Thanks! Keep up the awesome videos!

Hi Jason, thanks for checking out the video! This was my third time up to the saddle and I've never seen running water from a spring or creek in the area near the saddle at the times of year we have done it, July-September. There is what looks like an old cow trough up on the saddle but I don't know that I would drink water out of that. In the last bowl as you head up to the saddle it does look like there could be places for runoff if the time of year is right. We have seen snow at the saddle in July. Unless there are springs I don't know about I don't think there are any places to filter water near the saddle.

Yeah for sure! If you go up American Fork Canyon, take the turn off for Tibble Fork Reservoir, drive past Tibble Fork Reservoir and loop around following the road. Before you get to Granite Flat Campground there will be a turn off onto a dirt road, take that dirt road and follow it for about 3 miles and that will drop you at Silver Lake Flat Reservoir and there is a trailhead with a pit toilet and a sign about the area, that is where this hike starts. This is the AllTrails recording we used: www.alltrails.com/trail/us/utah/silver-glance-lake-and-sword-in-the-stone-scramble And this is the Google Maps to the starting point: www.google.com/maps/dir/Provo,+UT/40.50685,-111.65655/@40.4945114,-111.6575013,13.92z/data=!4m8!4m7!1m5!1m1!1s0x874d9271930bf1bf:0x1d90f12600b556ef!2m2!1d-111.6585337!2d40.2338438!1m0

Hey David, thanks for checking out the video! There is a good chance we will hit all seven peaks in the valley this year. The ones leading up to this point were definitely getting ready for the rim-to-rim. I'll be posting those videos soon.

That is a great question. I've hiked this mountain every year for the last 20 years and we have that exact conversation every year haha. The mileage that's listed at the ranger station at the beginning of the trail is also different from the mileages you mentioned, I don't remember exactly but I think it is somewhere in the 7s one way. I am inclined to believe that AllTrails is probably pretty accurate. I recorded this hike on Strava and I didn't pause at all, so the mileage I listed includes walking around at Emerald Lake and walking around the summit. We spent a good chunk of time in both places and so I could have easily added on .4 miles from all of the extra moving around.

I can't imagine doing that peak in the snow without ice axes and crampons, that's insane, I bet it was sketchy! Nice work! We started in Alpine at Schoolhouse Springs and went right up the ridgeline (so we turned off the trail before you would get to the lake). I think we were more on the west side of the mountain, I've heard there are a few approaches and I think we were more to the west.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

That scramble is super dicey. There were several times we would go a certain way and then have to back track and find a different way. If we go up there again I think we would try and stay right on top of the ridge for the first little bit and then drop to the south side ever so slightly, if you go too far to the south side you have to climb back up to the ridge line at the bottom which isn't fun. But when all is said and done, it just seems like a super dangerous section and you have to be careful making your way through it, no matter which way you go. There were some guys up there getting ready for the WURL and they basically ran down that section, I have no idea how they did it.

@@takeahike4861 I just managed to get the b@lls to do this yesterday. That section you are talking about is really crazy, but I just stayed focused on what was directly in front of me, and didnt look down lol. Thanks for the help

@@bjf5027 Awesome! Nice work! Yeah it is intense for sure. Haha yes, that sounds like a great way to approach it haha. For sure!

It really is! Thanks for watching!

Haha that's a good point. Thanks for watching Linda!

Thank you Fuad! Glad you liked the video! There are more coming and more that you can explore on the channel.

Thanks for watching Ryan! It was a killer 7 days. I appreciate it!
