Frisco Peak has over 4,000 feet of prominence, is the highest point in the San Francisco Mountains and can be seen from huge distances. There is a 4WD road to the summit where tons of communication equipment exists and even a hang gliding launching pad.

If you are looking for a hike, many have hiked off trial up from the base. Because of its isolation and location in the heart of the Utah western desert, the views are fantastic.

Prominence Peaks
Take Highway 21 west from Milford to an unmarked road to the right before the road starts curving south. Follow this good gravel road as it heads northwest toward the peak. As the road gets closer to the climb up the mountain, the road deteriorates. During the climb, a few spots will get rough but the average high clearance 4WD can make it.

REI Half Dome 2 HC Tent

REI Half Dome 2 HC Tent

REI's most popular 2-person backpacking tent, the Half Dome HC, provides a spacious interior and a simple, fast setup. Hub/combi (HC) pole design combines variable-diameter poles and a center hub/pole attachment. Variable pole diameters cause poles to flex in such a way that creates greater interior space around shoulders and head. Hub and poles never need to be separated and hub/pole design adds stability at their connection point. Quick and easy setup; simply hook center of tent to hub, attach poles at tent corners and clip tent to poles. DAC Featherlite® poles offer a high strength-to-weight ratio and use extruded construction instead of glued inserts to reduce chance of breakage. 9-section shockcorded poles break down to fit easily in your backpack. 2 doors and vestibules for super-convenient entry/exit and separate storage areas. Insider floor seams are engineered to create a nice, clean taut pitch and maximize floor space; factory seam-taping ensure a waterproof seal. Large D-shaped doors with no-see-um mesh panels and no-see-um mesh front and rear windows allow cross-ventilation, preventing condensation. Tent stays organized with the attic (included) and interior pockets. Full-coverage, factory-sealed, UV-resistant, taut polyester rainfly protects the tent; two roof vents allow excellent airflow to prevent condensation. Nicely placed clear film window in rainfly is the perfect size to view the weather conditions from inside tent. Leak-proof rainfly construction ensures that water won't sneak through susceptible areas such as guy-out points and zippers in wet conditions. Attention to detail shows in the reflective guy points and adjustable cleat-lock tie-downs on the rainfly. Footprint (sold separately) extends the life of your tent by protecting it from abrasive wear and tear. Save weight by creating a minimalist shelter using rainfly, poles and footprint only.
