On Friday, July the 3rd, my hiking partner Matt and I attempted a 16.3 mile hike beginning at the end of Millcreek Canyon, hiking up to Murdock Peak then heading west along the Millcreek Ridge to Grandeur Peak.
We met at the small park at the end of Wasatch Boulevard near Parley's Canyon at 5:00 am and left our vehicles at our endpoint. My wife then shuttled us up to the top of Millcreek and we hit the trail at 5:30 am. The temperature was a nice 53 degrees when we started hiking. It took us about an hour and forty five minutes to cover the 3.3 miles to the summit of Murdock Peak. At first we had the pleasure of hiking in the moonlight but soon the sun was hitting Gobblers Knob located on the south side of the canyon. As we made our way up Murdock, soon the prominent Cottonwood Ridge came into view.

Almost to the top
Once on top of Murdock Peak, the rest of the day seemed pretty straight forward; just follow the ridge for thirteen miles back to Salt Lake. The first section from Murdock Peak to Millvue Peak was relatively easy with only two small areas of intense bushwhacking. The wildflowers along this stretch, and actually the entire hike, were absolutely fabulous!

Me on Millvue Peak - Grandeur Peak getting closer! Mount Olympus can be seen over my right shoulder in the distance.
After Millvue Peak things began to get rougher the bushwhacking grew more intense and the general up and down became steeper. There is a trail down from Millvue to the saddle between Lambs Canyon and Elbow Fork but it is grown over and we lost it about halfway down. This cost us valuable time towards the end of the hike that we could have used.
At the saddle. the trail continues along the ridge to the north for about four tenths of a mile and then it is off-trail travel again as we dropped down to a saddle and then gained the ridge again east of Mount Aire. Once reaching the unnamed peak to the east of Mount Aire we dropped down to another saddle before beginning our climb to the summit of Mount Aire.

We then proceeded down the normal trail that ascends Mount Aire until we reached the saddle between Elbow Fork and Smith Creek Canyon. At this point we picked up and old trail to gain the ridge again that quickly became grown over and soon we lost it. From this point it was just a flat out nasty bushwhack to reach the head of Burch Hollow. Without question, the hardest bushwhacking I have ever done.

Last good image of Grandeur that I could get with the fading light
We finally reached the Church Fork Trail that heads up Grandeur Peak from the east side. we only had a half mile to go; maybe twenty five of thirty minutes of hiking at the most and Matt could not continue uphill. He was completely out of gas. Bonked! He could only mange to go slowly downhill so we hiked out on the Church fork Trail to the road.
We completed the hike at 12:05 Saturday morning. Over 18.5 hours of hiking! Happy Fourth of July!

Scatman at the Church Fork Trail on Grandeur Peak
Since we didn't exit at the West Slope Trailhead for Grandeur, we had some folks who passed us at the end of the Church Fork Trail call my wife when they had cell service and she came and picked us up.
Wow, what a hike! It really took it out of me. I'm not sure how hot it got up on the ridge but it was hot. I carried 3 liters of Gatorade and 5.5 liter of water, three of which were frozen. I probably should have carried one more liter of water or Gatorade. My legs are beat to shit, I've got two nasty blisters on my right foot underneath my calluses and three days later my energy levels haven't returned to normal though certainly they are heading in the right direction.
I might mention that we saw three moose, two deer, probably twenty grouse, seven horned toads, a few hawks, a vulture (probably circling us) and a vole which made this trip excellent form a wildlife perspective.
For those who want to see all the images of our hike, here is the link.

At first we had the pleasure of hiking in the moonlight but soon the sun was hitting Gobblers Knob located on the south side of the canyon. As we made our way up Murdock, soon the prominent Cottonwood Ridge came into view.

We finally reached the Church Fork Trail that heads up Grandeur Peak from the east side. we only had a half mile to go; maybe twenty five of thirty minutes of hiking at the most and Matt could not continue uphill. He was completely out of gas. Bonked! He could only mange to go slowly downhill so we hiked out on the Church fork Trail to the road.
We completed the hike at 12:05 Saturday morning. Over 18.5 hours of hiking! Happy Fourth of July!

Scatman at the Church Fork Trail on Grandeur Peak
Since we didn't exit at the West Slope Trailhead for Grandeur, we had some folks who passed us at the end of the Church Fork Trail call my wife when they had cell service and she came and picked us up.
Wow, what a hike! It really took it out of me. I'm not sure how hot it got up on the ridge but it was hot. I carried 3 liters of Gatorade and 5.5 liter of water, three of which were frozen. I probably should have carried one more liter of water or Gatorade. My legs are beat to shit, I've got two nasty blisters on my right foot underneath my calluses and three days later my energy levels haven't returned to normal though certainly they are heading in the right direction.
I might mention that we saw three moose, two deer, probably twenty grouse, seven horned toads, a few hawks, a vulture (probably circling us) and a vole which made this trip excellent form a wildlife perspective.
