Hiking Mt. Olympus in Salt Lake City, Utah

36 hours prior to attempting this hike, we were at sea level in San Diego. The summit of Mt. Olympus is over 9,000 ft in elevation. This was a lot to ask of our bodies. The hike itself was just under 8 miles and had over 4,000 feet of elevation gain. On paper, this is one of the toughest hikes that we have ever attempted.
Would we make it?
One of us does.

I hiked this 2 days after you uploaded this video 😅 I’m from the uk and I was visiting my family who live in Holladay (about a 5 min drive from the foot of the mountain on the Wasatch blvd). Tough climb but the views at the top were absolutely stunning. Even saw a rattlesnake for the first time in my life on the way down. Will definitely climb this bad boy again when I’m back in the near future!

So glad you enjoyed the hike! There are so many beautiful hikes in the area, but Mt. Olympus is quite the climb!
