Meridian Peak, overlooking North Salt Lake is a treeless, dry, grassy ascent to Utah’s 1575th highest peak. While not the most exciting peak in Utah, the hike Meridian’s route provides an excellent example of Utah’s grassy foothills. The area is starkly pretty and the views of the city and Great Salt Lake during the hike are worth looking at.
Meridian Peak, with its majestic 48 feet of prominence, mostly exists in the mind of some obscure Government cartographer. The peak is named after the Salt Lake Meridian which starts in Temple Square, runs North/South through the state and crosses directly over Meridian Peak. The "peak" is treeless and marked by a small geo-disk set in a concrete cone.
I will describe what I think is the best route to the cache. I will use existing geo-cahes as waypoints. Start at the Ensign Peak Trailhead. Take the path which goes north and west around Ensign Peak and ties into an access road to the telephone towers north of Ensign Peak. Continue on the road to "Cache with a View" then East to "Sound Wave" which is just south of the trail. then Northeast to "Perspective", then West to "Super Trooper" and then continue West to "Meridan Peak". There are other routes, but I feel that this is the easiest hike. You can come East from the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, but it is a very steep climb.
CONGRATULATIONS to himilecyclist and lesdubois for a joint FTF.
