Description
This hike starts at the saddle between Mt Raymond and Gobblers knob. It is steep but not especially bad with the exception of a 60 ft section. In this section it is a class 2 scramble with exposure. I felt comfortable going over it by staying at the top of the ridge. Left my 11 year old daughter behind as I didn't feel comfortable taking her over it (novice hiker). Once you get to the top, you are rewarded with some amazing views of Big Cottonwood Canyon and Mill Creek Canyon.
