Y Mountain is a butt kicker hike that will get you into gear for peak hiking season, and by adding 10 min to the hike you can bag 2 peaks in 1 trip, East Summit, which has crazy great 360 views & wildflowers.

Sample Itinerary:
Trailhead - 8:00 am
Hike - 8:15 am - 1:30 pm
Directions: Y Mountain Trailhead, Provo Ut
Activity: Hike Y Mountain & East Summit spur Trail - 6.6 miles total out and back. Y Mountain gains 3,000 ft in 3 miles and is steep. Hands down everyone felt like East Summit spur was totally worth it to bag 2 peaks but mainly to get those monster 360 peak views. All Trails Trip Report.
