Snowbird Ski Resort
Little Cottonwood Canyon
Wasatch Mountains
A.F.Twin Peaks - 11,489'
The Highest peak in Salt Lake County, Third in the Wasatch.
From the summit one can see to both ends of the Wasatch, from
Mount Ogden to the north, to Mount Nebo to the south.
There are two ways up American Fork Twin Peaks, the easiest
is through Gad Valley, up to the Gad Valley II Chairlift,
along the Red Top Ridge, and to the West Peak. The hard way
is up to the Hidden Peak Tram, traverse the knife edge and
then up to the East Peak, you can also hike down the dirt
road parallel to the knife edge and then scramble up the talus.
We went up the Gad Valley Trail, missed the Gad Valley II
trail, bushwhacked over to the Boulder Talus, (which by the
way, is off-limits to hikers because it is filled with exploded
and unexploded charges of dynamite) and then up the loose
rock scree to the Red Top Peak Ridge.
We hiked down the knife edge, and continued in the dark down
the talus below the Hidden Peak Tram. We found the Gad Valley
trail back down but was confusing in the dark. Most of us
got split up, but we finally converged at the parking lot.
It felt like a pretty epic event.
On the way down Little Cottonwood, we saw police, news, ambulances,
and a double propeller helicopter scanning the granite walls
near Perla's Ridge. We stopped for a while to see what was
going on. They were looking for a group of young free climbers.
An 18 year old male fell and died. The others screamed for
help until they were heard.
