Summary: This trail leads you to the top of Mount Raymond, which is one of the most prominent peaks on the north side of Big Cottonwood Canyon. The trail is very popular and easy to follow. There are many excellent guide books that provide great detail about this hike. The only difficult spot is the last couple hundred yards along the summit ridge. The trail is faint and almost disappears as it weaves along the craggy ridge line. The views from the summit are spectacular and are some of the best to be had from Big Cottonwood Canyon. Trailhead: Take I-215 South until you reach the 6200 South exit. Turn right onto Wasatch Boulevard, then turn left at Big Cottonwood Canyon. Continue up Big Cottonwood Canyon for another 8 miles to the Butler Canyon trailhead located on the north side of the road.

Reviewed by Caleb on 6/25/2006 Don't plan on taking your dog. Apparently this is a "protected watershed area". What a huge crock. Isn't that what we have treatment plants for?? Are there not animals in the forest that have waste as well?? Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
