Bright and early on the 4th of July some friends and I hiked to Cascade Saddle. Last year I hiked to the same destination, but started at Rock Canyon. This time we started at the Big Springs trailhead in the south fork of Provo Canyon. I'm not exactly sure how long the hike is. The various sources I've checked seem to disagree, but it's somewhere between 9 and 12 miles roundtrip. The trail starts off easy enough, but before long it gets steep and rocky. However, there was plenty of shade along the way. Once you get to the top there's a nice view of the valley as well as some of the other nearby peaks. You can also hike along the ridges to the north or south, but there aren't really any trails.
