Land Owneruinta-wasatch-cache national forest
This is a historic trail in Upper Mill Creek Canyon (Trail 905), which means there is no signage and USFS doesn't manage the trail. This is a steeper descent than Wasatch Crest to Great Western. Some bench cut, narrow, steeper, loose in parts. Not nearly as many people on this as the normal descent.
This trail is too steep to climb by mortals, one section is so steep it's HAB for anyone anyways. Recommend descent only.
