Geocache Description:

A great hike with a great view of the salt lake

come experience what the NY Fire fighters did as you make your journey to the top of the Flag Rock Trail.

See a spectacular view of the Great Salt lake while remembering those lost.

This Trail is now a part of the Farmington city trails.

Trail Chief Randall West will be there to guide you up to Flag Rock as well as answer questions about the Flag, and the Trail.

The Flag was originally placed in the spring of 2002 in honor of September 11th. Several Flags have since replaced the original which now sits in the Farmington Museum..

From the flag looking down to State street is the height the World Trade Center stood.

as a Former New York E.M.T. I ( UTDARCY) responded on 9/11/01. I lost many friends and colleagues that fateful day.

In 2006 I came across this tribute hike (hosted by Aim High & Rugratrandall)

The Experience TOOK my BREATH AWAY !!!!!

in 2007 Aim High allowed me to plan the hike - the turnout was incredible - a great group of people.

Again in 2008 I hosted with a great Turnout including KSL news Own Alex Cabrerra.

Everyone is Welcome - If you feel you cannot make the Hike show up at base camp and sign the log to show attendance and at least support those making the hike.

Rugratrandall ( Flag Rock Trail Chief) , and I will be at the starting area (BASECAMP) Around 6 AM

we expect arrivals between 6:15 and 6:30.
At 6:45 there will be a moment of silence (A.A. flight # 11 hit first tower)
A brief Memorial Tribute
we will than take a group photo at basecamp.

At 7:03 another moment of silence (Flight # 175 hit the second towers) And then we will then begin the journey up to flag rock. ( Everyone can move at their own Pace. )

at the top we will gather for a small meet & greet and take another group photo at flag rock with the FLAG & GREAT SALT LAKE IN THE BACKGROUND. See Attached Photo’s From Previous Years.

I ( UTDARCY) a Former NY E.M.T. will be there to talk with everyone and share my experiences with those who want to Know about my Experiences on Sept 11th at the world trade center in NY.

Randall West will also be There. He is the founder and creator of this hike, and the flag on top of flag rock. He is recently (July 2009) appointed the Trail Chief for this new Farmington Trail.

Randy has worked very hard not only on this trail but in making this a Farmington City Recognized Trail ( Finally recognized in July 2009)

. Congratulate him and wish him the best. Without him this Hike would never have come to be..

This is a great way to pay respects to those who've fallen but also to get a perspective on what the firefighters endured. Also has some Great Views and photo Opportunities

BASECAMP will have a LOG BOOk to Sign. and hopefully if we get enough pictures from everyone we can nicely ASK (gotwings & Windbeneath to compile a video for us) in the years PAST they have Done some WONDERFUL VIDEOS )

Hope to see everyone there - newcomers as well as Repeat hikers.

This is not an Easy Hike but not a very difficult hike either. Bring lots of Water a few snacks ,and pace yourself. We will happily help anyone in need on the trail.

4 miles round trip hike
