Took 4 hours 22 minutes total for the two peaks. Just a little under 10 miles.

Quick outing
Hiked with SLCGrant and Ben (our middle boy) during a trip out west stopping to meet Sam and get a hike in. Great weather- cloudy, breezy with some drizzle. Very enjoyable with a mellow trail to run during the descent.

Hiked up from Millcreek, Alexander Basin -> Bowman then up to Raymond and over to Gobblers Knob. Going down Alexander Basin was majorly steep, poles aren't necessary but I'd say that mentally they are

Quick run/hike summit
Fun, steep, short

Loose trail
Took the Alexander Basin route up the first time, ended up just being a monotonous slog to the top. Bowman's Fork is the better option imo.

Amazing spring like conditions
The flowers, the snow capped peaks the sunset everything about this day was perfect one of the best hikes of my life.

Crucial Day 1
After Olympus, a sprint from the saddle to stay on schedule and nab this high point. Aspen forest on the approach was spectacular in early fall.

Spectacular hike!
My favorite hike that I've done in the Wasatch to date. I don't know if it's been a good year or I was just lucky with when I went, but the alpine wildflowers in Alexander Basin and along the west-side traverse down to Baker Spring were the best I've ever seen outside Washington.
Up from Butler Fork at 7:20 a.m. Two hours to the top of Gobblers Knob. The trail was pretty busy, especially later in the day but we had the summit of the Knob to ourselves for a few minutes. The sky north of the GSL was a bit hazy; it is wildfire season after all.

Little Knob Gobbler
Quick jaunt up Butlers Fork to the top to Gobblers, then back down. Awesome hike.
The wild flowers in Alexander Basin are Outrageous. Gorgeous hike with clear views from the summit. It is fun to do this one the weekend after the winter gate is opened. Third time on the summit.

Nice Name
Nice quick hike to see the fall colors, cool views of the Cottonwood Ridge and SLC from the top. The person who named this mountain must've really liked turkeys.
Went up porter fork, around mount Raymond and up gobblers. Then down bowman.

Great Loop Hike
Ditched a bike at the bottom of Alexander Basin for the return trip back to the car. Started at the Bowman TH to Baker Pass. Great hike! Be sure to check out the fossilized sea shells in Alexander Basin!

Gobblers Knob
Up and down via Butler Fork - snow was corniced along the north side of the ridge in early June but very easy to navigate around. My 2017 summit required crampons and an ice axe due to the late snow melt. The ridge is a lot of fun in these conditions. Don't let the false summit fool you!
Utah Guy is lying. He only has 50 peaks. This peak is better if you make turkey noises all the way up. Everyone will love you if you do it. Have a picnic on top. Bring a poodle. It's a wilderness area and everything goes.
