A steady 45 minutes of incline hiking with a gorgeous view at the top! We did the hike shortly after landing in Utah and the altitude definitely got to us. Your calves will feel this one for sure too!! The top was pretty cool with all of the “living room furniture” made from rocks. The view was really, but unfortunately, our sunset hike was a little bit overcast. would recommend going on a really clear night for Sunset :)
