Bucket List Hikes

These are a few hikes that I hope to complete in the next couple of years.

1. Kings Peak is the highest peak in Utah and the 19th highest in the contiguous 48 states. There are multiple ways of going up the peak. The easiest way up is at least 32 miles. This makes the hike a backpacking trip. Kings Peak has an elevation of 13,528 feet located in the Uinta Mountains.

2. The Narrows are located in Zion National Park. The majority of the hike you is in the waters of the Virgin River. Sometimes the water can even get to be chest high. The hike from Chamberlain's Ranch requires a permit. It is a 16 mile hike over 2 days.

3. The Subway, also in Zion National Park, is a difficult hike. The hike is in shallow waters. It is a day hike that has a lot of maneuvering. There are many rappels, down-climbing, and swimming. The length of the hike is 7.5 miles.

4. Queen's Garden Trail in Bryce Canyon National Park is a moderately difficult hike. It is 6.5 miles. Hiking here allows you to see the best hoodoos in Bryce Canyon.

5. Mount Timpanogos is a strenuous hike of 15 miles round trip. It is seen as one of Utah's most recognizable mountains and is very popular. There are spectacular wildflowers that line the trail. At the summit you can see in every direction. The top is marked with an old shack.
