Summary: Getting to this mountain is no easy task. I have herd you can get to Grandview from City Creek in Salt Lake City or from Kenny Creek in Bountiful. If you have a high clearance four wheel drive this route gives you the shortest hiking distance of about Eight miles round trip. We made our trek in late June. On a beautiful clear day. The Great Western Trail follows the ridge of the mountains along the Davis Morgan County line. The trail skirts some of the lesser peaks making it a fairly steady assent until you reach the base of Grandview. The last half mile is the steepest with no established trail but the view from the top is incredible and worth the effort to get their. Grandview rises to 9410 feet and is the highest peak in this general area. Grandview peak is a little harder to get to than many of the spectacular in the Wassatch front but is definitely worth the effort to get there. Trailhead: Take the 400 North exit off of I-15 in Bountiful. Follow 400 North Ave East to 1300 East, turn right . The road circles around to the south and becomes Skyline drive at the base of the Bountiful “B”. Follow Skyline drive for about 5-6 miles where it intersects with a 4X4 road heading south. Follow the 4x4 road as far as you can. If you have a high clearance four wheel drive you can drive to the trail head for the Great Western Trail.
