Hike #5 - Squaw Peak

In an effort to recoup the weekend that was originally dedicated to the aforementioned 

Emerald lakes trip, my friend Kelsey and I decided to hike to Squaw Peak on Saturday morning.  Squaw Peak is the prominent point found on the north side of the entrance to Rock Canyon.  The trail is steep but well-traveled.  Just start hiking up Rock Canyon until the trail forks then take the trail on the left.  It's the one with the clever name: Squaw Peak Trail.  We've had a wet and rather mild spring, so the wild flowers/weeds are all in bloom.  The view from the top would be quite impressive if it overlooked something other than Utah valley.  Oh well.  If you're looking for a fairly short, somewhat difficult hike with a pretty good view, I recommend Squaw Peak.
