Mount Olympus

The hardest standard day hike in the metro Wasatch — a relentless 4,150-foot climb ending in a Class 3 scramble to the most prominent summit visible from the Salt Lake Valley.

Also known as: Mt. Olympus, Mount Olympus South Summit

The most prominent peak visible from the Salt Lake Valley and the hardest standard day hike in the metro Wasatch. A relentless 4,000-foot climb through dense scrub oak, loose rock, and finally a Class 3 scramble through a narrow chute to the exposed summit. The mountain dominates the eastern skyline from Holladay to Murray and delivers one of the best summit panoramas in the range.
