I wanted to see how high up the mountain the spine trail went. Turns out, not as far as I hoped. I made it up about 1.5 miles, to 6400 feet of elevation, and I lost the trail in some trees. I saw a bunch of deer though. on the way back down I figured I would take the Pipeline trail and see if it junctioned with the sunset trail up farmington canyon. It doesn't. In fact, it is a pretty rough trail at this point and ends at a cesspool of stagnant water. I don't recommend it. I may try the spine again when it gets warmer. The point where I lost the trail still had snow on it so that may have been why I lost it. |
