Geocache Description:


Wasatch Workout - Dry Creek Hill

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

Dry Creek Hill is a particularly dramatic summit between Dry Creek Gulch and Limekiln Gulch.  The drama comes from the fact that it is a very definite summit with terrain falling away in all directions, and the views of the city and nearby foothills are quite spectacular.

In most states of the country, this would be considered a mountain rather than a "hill".  The summit elevation is 5,780 feet.

Lots of choices for getting to the summit:  Dry Creek Gulch, Limekiln Gulch (or a great loop featuring both), or head straight up past The U and on up the ridge to the summit.  Or, if you are elvis_weasel, start at the top of Millcreek Canyon!

This cache replaces the far more strenuous Wasatch Workout - Mystery Mountain Multi.  Although far easier, you will still know you've been for a hike by the time you're done!

Enjoy the hike!
