Kentucky Tea on Khyv Peak

About This Event

Khyv Peak (formally called Squaw Peak) is a cool spring time hike, and great warm up for the bigger peaks come summer. The trail passes through tall canyon walls and then climbs up through groves of trees and meadows. The view from the top is one of the best in Utah County- taking in all of Utah lake to the west and gorgeous views of the mountains behind.

This is a challenging hike with a solid amount of climbing but we will cheers at the top to the start of warmer weather to come.
