GOAT challenge hike
Willard Peak and Ben Lomond via Willard Basin
Willard Peak is the highest point for Weber County, though it sees less than half the amount of hikers compared to the popular Ben Lomond Peak. Driving up the back route to Willard Peak. 45 minutes on dirt road. The dirt road does need 4x4 and maybe high clearance vehicles. We will camp around Willard Peak on USFS lands. This is a popular dirt road for ATVs and don't plan for solitude camping. Camp Friday night and get up early to start hiking Saturday morning. We have the option of camping again Saturday night and then head down Sunday. Or leave Saturday. 5 hrs. 7.6 miles round trip Elevation gain 1,500 ft. Dogs are welcomed
