This is a simple mountain just off the road not too above Wolf Creek Summit south of the Uintas. Not the greatest hike but an easy peak bag if you are around the area.
Access:
Take Utah Hwy 35 east of the Francis-Kamas area to the Mill Hollow turnoff (Forest Road #054) and follow this road past the reservoir and campground. At the pass, turn left and go around 1.6 miles until you are just under the broad summit. Park off the road or look for a short spur road that looks like it goes to the top.
Route:
I drove fairly close but still had to walk a short distance over scrub bushes to the highest point, marked by a benchmark.
