The Casual Hike

On a cold, windy morning, Kevin hikes Catherine Pass from the Alta side, discovering he has visited the lakes before from Brighton. As sunrise warms the ridge, he encounters wildlife, crosses varied terrain, and enjoys Lake Catherine and neighboring lakes. The return brings steep climbs, changing views, and a finish.

Revisiting Grandeur Peak after ten years, I take on a steep Utah climb in thin morning air. The hike brings rocky switchbacks, sweeping Salt Lake City views, and a hard final ascent. At the summit, I reflect on aging, knee support, and why the descent can be tougher than the climb.

No Godfrey on this hike. Just a challenging short hike up a 1,500 foot incline. Hard workout but worth it for the great views.
