Summary: The Wasatch Mountains of Utah offer every imaginable aspect of outdoor recreation This particular hike can be made any month of the year. As you can see from these pictures (Taken By Members of the Utah Association of Geocachers) We made it in January on top of about 7-8 feet of snow. This trail is accessible by ski, Snowshoe, or snowmobile during the winter or by foot or ATV during the summer. From the top of Gold ridge at about 8000 feet you will enjoy a spectacular view of Morgan County to the East Mt. Francis with her majestic FAA radar domes to the North and Farmington Flats and Mt. Bountiful to the West. Trailhead: From I-15, take the Lagoon Drive/Farmington exit (#326 from the south or #327 from the north) and head East to U.S. Highway 106 (Farmington's Main Street). On Main Street, drive south towards town. Turn east on 600 North then turn north on 100 East (Skyline drive) follow this road up Farmington canyon 13 miles. The drive up Farmington Canyon is an adventure in itself and is not for anyone squeamish with heights, and this includes passengers! The drive can be made in most vehicles, however, 11.5 of the 13 miles is on dirt road without guardrails. The road is suited best for a 4X4 truck or SUV and VERY careful driving. Access is Year round However during the winter 4X4 is a must.
