Geocache Description:


Wasatch Workout - Little Black Mountain

 

This is part of a six-cache series located near the summits of some of the Wasatch Front's prominent peaks.  You can log this cache find as a regular cache.  Then, if you are ambitious, you can complete the entire series which will lead you to the seventh, and final, cache.  Please see the listing below for more details:

 

Wasatch Workout - Final

 

A good place to park for this hike is:

 

N 40° 47.480   W 111° 51.782  

 

The cache is located on the final, and highest, summit.  You will pass a few lower false summits on the way.  The approach to the final one involves some minor boulder climbing and exposure, so please use caution.

 

Update:  For a somewhat easier hike that avoids the worst of the technical climbing, park at the top of City Creek Canyon (cars allowed even days during the summer) and hike up the Smuggler's Gap Trail.

 

 My GPS gave an elevation reading of 8,062 feet.

 

 Be sure to make note of the clue for the Wasatch Workout Final!

 

Have a great hike!
