📅 Date: Saturday, July 18, 2026
⏰ Carpool Meet Time: 4:30 AM | Hike Start: 7:00 AM
📍 Carpool Meeting Point: South Salt Lake (details sent after registration — Lex will coordinate)
🥾 Distance: 9.0 miles | ~3,585 ft elevation gain
⚡ Difficulty: Hard
👥 Group Size: 10 participants
Waking up at 4am for work? Hard pass. Waking up at 4am to summit the highest peak in the Wasatch? Let's go. 🏔️
Mount Nebo is the big one. At 11,877 feet, it's a full day in the mountains — 9 miles, 3,585 feet of gain, and a rocky summit ridge that earns every step. This is part of our Summit Series and it's not for the faint of heart. But if you've been waiting for a challenge that actually feels like an achievement? This is it.
What to Expect
A full-day alpine adventure that transitions from forested singletrack through wildflower meadows, steep mountain switchbacks, and a rocky high-alpine summit ridge. The trail is well-established throughout — the final stretch gets rocky and uneven with some light scrambling for balance, but nothing technical. Plan for 7.5–8.5 hours on trail. Start early to avoid afternoon thunderstorms — this is standard summit protocol and we take it seriously. ⛈️
What to Bring
2–3L of water (minimum)
Lunch + snacks (this is an all-day effort)
Rain jacket — non-negotiable at this elevation
Microspikes (may still be needed depending on snow conditions closer to July 18 — we'll update you)
Sturdy hiking boots
Layers + sun protection
Trekking poles recommended
Carpool & Logistics: The trailhead is about 2.5 hours from Salt Lake City. Lex has 4 spots in her car — she'll reach out after registration to coordinate carpooling. Getting an early start is essential for safety on this one.
Parking: Small free lot at the trailhead — fills up fast. Carpooling helps. No permit required.
Dogs: Welcome on this one! 🐾
