snowshoe (or hike) - salt benchmark, nephi - March 19, 2022
We plan to snowshoe (or hike if there is not enough snow) to Salt Benchmark (9,997 ft), also known as Salt Creek Peak, in Nephi, weather, conditions and situation permitting. Salt Benchmark is the highest peak in the San Pitch Mountain range and is one of the Utah prominence peaks. We will take a winter route to make this peak. Please bring 10 Es, microspikes, and snowshoes. Avalanche safety gear (beacon, probe and shovel) is required. Exploratory. I have an extra set of avalanche safety gear if you do not have it. Please email before Friday, 6 pm, March 18, for the meeting place and time. Registration is required. Registration priority will be given to WMC members. Registrants will receive more detailed info. Limit 8. COVID-19 protocols will apply.
