Trail Considerations: Trail users should be aware of the high level of use that this trail receives, and should expect to see each type of user group on any given day. This is one of the most used trails on the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache NF and as such Saturdays and holidays can be prohibitively busy. Users are encouraged to use this trail Sunday through Friday, avoiding Saturdays and Holidays. As this hike does enter the Mount Timpanogos Wilderness area, keep group sizes fewer than 15 people.
Wilderness Considerations: NO FIRES are allowed in Timpanogos Wilderness. As with any Wilderness trails, please be prepared for trails that have received little to no maintenance; have a map and compass and know how to use them, and have the ability to be self-sufficient as these are truly some of the remotest areas in the Wasatch Mountains. Extreme caution should be used around any steep snow field, snow with water moving underneath, waterfalls, and/or cliffs.
