Y Mountain Peak Trail

Trail Description

If you've never hiked past the Y, then this trail is for you. It leads past the Y around into Slide Canyon, through Bear Flats Meadow, and up a steep trail that leads to the very top of Y Mountain. It is a very strenuous hike, but well worth the trip. Bring lunch and enjoy a great view of Utah Valley, from Mt. Timpanogos in the North to Mt. Nebo in the South. - TelegramSam

I did this with my usual hiking friend and the view from the top was great. 6 hrs total due to spending 1 1/2 at the top.

Hiked this with a friend today. I needed a hike pretty bad, and this was a perfect workout. After you get past Bear Flats Meadow, the ground cover is lush and green.

We went in perfect weather for hiking, though the Memorial Day crowd somewhat swamped the trail. I think it took us about 3 hours up and 1.5 down. Made for a great morning.
