Trail Description

Starting from the Squaw Peak parking lot, this trail leads up the ridge to the south, passing behind Buffalo Peak and then winding around to the top. This trail offers beautiful views of the entire Utah Valley, as well as hidden meadows surrounded by Aspen Trees. The trail is a bit steep in places, but well worth the trip! - TelegramSam

Some wonderful views of meadows, mountains, and trees. Took some awesome photos. Instead of coming back to the Squaw Peak parking lot, we hiked from Buffalo Peak out Rock Canyon. Perfect weather for an afternoon hike (we had to wait until the afternoon for the trail to dry out).
