Neffs Canyon Meadow

Mount Olympus
Wildcat Ridge
Wasatch Mountains - Salt Lake City, Utah

Neffs Canyon Meadow: 8,000'
2.75 miles one way
Elevation gain: 2450'

Although we didn't see it,
Neffs Canyon is home to one of the deepest caves in America.
Neffs Canyon Cave: 1,165 feet deep, the deepest cave in Utah, #10 in the US.

The meadow was filled with bugs, none of them seemed to bite me but Rafael said they bit him. I inhaled or swallowed at least 6.

My son Daniel & I climbed the North peak about 7 years ago. We used the regular
route up Mt. O unti9l the trail climbs South our of Tolcate Canyon. We then
turned North and followed the ridge to the top. I would also like to know where
the entrance to the cave is. There was a complete description of the climb by
Harold Goodro as he mapped the cave. The total depth was never reached because
of water. This article was in a publication called Utah Sports Ink, a rather
short lived publication. I kept a copy for years but have misplaced it
somewhere. Oh, Well!! Darel Neilson

Excellent photos. In one of your photos you said that you had never met anyone
who had been to the North Peak of Mt. Olympus. Your photo shows some of the
colours that run down it's north side. One of the most enjoyable
semi-mountainering hikes is to hike or climb up the face of Mount Olympus
starting at the snowfield on the left and then making your way up to the north
peak. Do this in the spring when the snow is gone from the face. Then to come
down you can glisade or slide down the north side that your photo shows. Some
like to ski it. Make sure you take an ice ax so you can control your speed and
for hiking up the snow field at the beggining. If you ever need more details
just email.
