day hike - box elder peak & more in south of south willow canyon (not in af) - September 1, 2019

We will start from Loop Campground which is commonly used to hike to Deseret Peak. Instead of going to Deseret Peak, we will hike to south from the saddle and then make Indian Hickman Peak (10,122), Box Elder Peak (10,230), Peak 10,192, Peak 9,812 and maybe more depending on a turn around time. This hike will be exploratory. Those peaks are along with the trail. But there is no trail to the peaks. Expect short bushwhacking and cross-country route finding. Short minor scrambling (class 2 or less) may be possible to make the peaks. The distance and (cumulative) elevation gain will depend on how many peaks we will make. Bring 10 Es. Due to long driving (1-1.5 hour), expect a long day. Please email before Friday, 6 pm, August 30, for the meeting place and time. Registration priority will be given to WMC members.
