trek 2025 mount ogden hiking goat challenge- ogden ut /northern utah hikes - July 18, 2026
Scramble, expect to probably use your hands a little bit. Plan for 7 -10 hr day. Let's hit 6 peaks in one day. No Name Peak, Allen Peak, Mount Ogden, Needles, Demoisy Peak and Strawberry Peak. The plan is to take the Snowbasin Gondola at 9 AM. Hike the ridge line. The cost of the gondola is $29 per person. Until July 11 you can get 50% off the gondola tickets buy using PRIMEDAY. We will take the Ridge Trail, head south and hit Strawberry Peak, then route back and hit Demoisy Peak, Needles, Mt. Ogden, Allen Peak and if we are still interested a short 30 minute hike up to No Name Peak. From there we will hike back down the John Paul Trail to the vehicles. Don't think we will be able to catch the last Gondola. There is an option if people are interested in doing this a two day event and camping. Ride up the Gondola on Saturday. Camp outside the Ski resort boundary on USFS lands. And then ride the Gondola back to the vehicles Sunday. This is a loop. About 11.9 miles. Elevation Gain 4400 ft. More downhill than uphill. Estimate 7-10 hrs. High in beauty, not a lot of solitude, may have to do some route finding if the trails look a little too brushy especially around Demoisy Peak. Peaks on the Hike. elevation.
