No. UT: 5th Annual Pi Day at Alien Tower

About This Event

Join us for our 5th Annual Pi Day Hike!

Celebrate Pi Day with us and bring a pie-inspired dessert (or a savory treat) to share if you’d like. This hike is rated easy to moderate, with a few short but steep climbs. Don’t worry—we’ll stick together as a group and enjoy delicious treats at the tower!

Given the time of year, micro-spikes and warm layers are essential for staying comfortable and safe while soaking in some of the best sunset views in the valley.

We can’t wait to see you there!
