Summit Of Signal Peak, Highest Point (10,365ft) In Pine Valley Mountains, Southwestern Utah

This is a good one! A little over six miles up to make summit, Signal Peak is worth the grind. Being the highest point in the Pine Valley Mountains gives it a charm and even though the view from summit is obscured by trees, a short walk down and out to a point will give one a spectacular view!
We originally were going to do this from the south side, starting from the Oak Grove Campground but lo and behold the road was closed for whatever reason so we made our climb from the North side the following day.
Bring plenty of water and food, a gallon of water per person..if not more..to be safe. Water to be filtered may not be available depending on year/season. Rain gear too, storms suck up into the Pine Valley Mountains in the summer and form quickly. We had phone service intermittently throughout the hike. Start as early as possible, nice and cool on the way up and the heat will be waiting for you on the way down!

Spectacular vista ! Thanks

Looks like good exercise and great views.

A lovely part of the world. Last time I was there I did Yankee Doodle and Boltergeist. I'm warming to your Channel; keep it up. I enjoyed your North Rim motorcycle reports too. I've been a regular UK visitor to SW Utah since 1986; so much so that I don't need a map or SatNav! I've flown that area too; flying down I-15 beneath the rocky escarpments each side into Nevada is a privilege. I also know "The one and only" in St George.

Thanks!

You're welcome, thanks for watching!!

I read that you can also see some of the higher peaks near flagstaff from there on a clear day. Awesome place for a day trip from Las Vegas, maybe even the best. A close second would be the Hualapai mountains.

Deserves more than a couple hundred views!

[@melvboi-nd1br]

this is so cool! i live in hurricane and stare at these mountains every day. i really wanna go up there and summit one way or another

[@humunguswarrior]

All that and you dragged a drone up the hill with you too? Wow! Thank you for your awesome vids. My family lines in St. George/Washington/La Verkin. They are always trying to get me to move there... I've resisted so far, but if I do it will be because of your videos highlighting the awesome recreational opportunities like this! Thank you for recording/editing/publishing it!

You're very welcome, appreciate you watching!

The quick .5 miles from the sign (@ 13:57) to the Oak Grove overlook is worth it! Best view in the Pine valley mountains IMO. (though you got a similar view at 21:50) 2 years running that Oak Grove has been closed off in the summer due to fire danger. Not a bad alternative to hike Browns as Oak Grove is harder(faster elevation gain) and almost all of it is exposed. Definitely, a late spring hike unless you camped up top and hiked back down in the morning. Water in Further water is pretty reliable. Seen it flowing in August but i'm sure drought years will make a difference. Great video, great hike!

[@precipiceofgrind]

Appreciate you watching! Water in Further Water looked good, flowing..not stagnant. Hard to know just how reliable that source is but certainly encouraging seeing it flowing in July! Coming back down into the heat we were grateful for the shade from the trees, wouldn't have had that on the south side!

[@BrendenBlades]

Yes it runs year round. I recently have hiked it 3 times in the last few months!

[@matthewmolone9224]

I love the drive up there, it’s really cool to go through the red cliffs desert up into the real mountains. Do you see any snakes up there?

[@coniferousforests8030]

majestic forest ! Quality of the video is truly impressive. It is always a treat to see this rare guest ;D

[@phoenixdynamometer1]

Subscribed! Great video, thanks for sharing. What precautions do you take or gear do you pack in case of bears or mountain lions? I am assuming they both roam that area. Thanks again!

[@precipiceofgrind]

Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! By precaution do you mean protection?

[@phoenixdynamometer1]

@@precipiceofgrind Hi, yes I was referring to protection. Also, what about snake bite situations. Just curious overall about how best to pack and prepare for unfortunate situations. I would think that there would be a good phone signal at the top for emergencies but I'm sure there are more remote areas where a satellite phone would be the best source of reaching out.

[@precipiceofgrind]

@@phoenixdynamometer1 I carry a 9mm, a Hellcat. It's very small and easily concealable. Black Bear country I think a 9mm or 38 would be sufficient. Honestly, I've never thought much about Mountain Lions. I also carry a Garmin INReach sat communication device. I've had plenty of run ins with Rattlesnakes and they all have warned me when I got too close. Wearing ankle high boots might mitigate a bite since they usually bite low. My wife got bit on her toe by a baby rattlesnake, almost lost her foot...she was wearing sandals.

[@baytopscott9848]

Do you think I should be worried about mountain lions if I'm hiking alone? Or is there enough people on the trails

[@precipiceofgrind]

Well, anything can happen at any time. Personally, I never worry much about cats even though I know they are there and most likely watching. After spending significant time solo hiking in Grizzly country, the only time I think about cats is when my dog is with me. I'm always armed too.

[@baytopscott9848]

@@precipiceofgrindoooo smart! Good to know. Thank you for the response
