| Name: | Grandeur Peak from west | 
|
| Description: | Started off a subdivision around 3300 South and hiked up steep hill that turns into the soutnwestern ridge. There was several false summits and about 30% of the length in the upper elevation was quite a bushwhack. There is no solid trail on this ridge, just occasional game trails. A positive was some nice views towards Rattlesnake Gulch of Millcreek. Down from the peak we took the northwestern ridge, which has a distinct trail on it. This descent was uneventful except for an encounter with a rattlesnake. We returned south towards the car on a jeep trail turning into a singletrack, resembling a portion of the Shoreline trail. | |
