A traverse on iconic and commonly untrodden trails and resorts of upper Big Cottonwood Canyon in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, Utah. Begin by climbing up Mill D North Fork to Desolation Lake and top out on the Wasatch Crest trail. Continue to Guardsman pass and stay on the ridge dividing Salt Lake and Summit counties.

EPIC LOOP AROUND WATERVILLE VALLEY - 9 peaks (5 4K footers) 15 trails and just under 11K in elevation gain.  

 Started/finished at Livermore trailhead off west branch road in Waterville. I decided to go clockwise and hit Mt Tecumseh then Osceola - up the tri pyramids (down south slide) and finished off with the Snows Mt Summit. Total Elapsed time was 9hr 13min and 58 Seconds with just under 11K feet in elevation gain! Perhaps this is the fastest know time for this route?
