This trail is part of the Snowbird Resort's Hike Only trails. During the summer you can buy a ticket to ride the Gondola up and down the mountain, but many choose to hike one way or the the other. The hike itself is pretty narrow and steep in places, but it follows along a ridge in several spots. One place has a great view of the Gondola going up and down, soon after you pass under it.

Access Info

Starts off of the Peruvian Gulch Trail, which is a access road that reaches all the way to Hidden Peak. The preferred way to hike this is to start at the bottom on Peruvian Gulch Hike Trail which is just off the dirt road near the mountain coaster.
