The shorter western neighbor of East San Pete Peak in the Wasatch Plateau of north central Utah. The mellow southern slope allows for an easy outing, especially since the Skyline Drive gets within a half-mile of the summit.
From Ephraim: Take Ephraim Canyon Road 15 miles from town and turn slight left (North) onto Skyline Drive. Drive along Skyline Drive for 5.2 miles until a dirt road is discernible traveling to the summit.
From Skyline Drive, the summit is a straight shot over easily walkable ground.
Round-trip Distance: 1 mile
