Hike the Fantasy Ridge Trail
HikingChallengingSummerYear-round
Navigate a narrow, rocky knife-edge ridge at Canyons Village for some of the most technical and rewarding views in the region.
Itinerary tips
- 1Start your journey at the Canyons Village and take the Orange Bubble Express or Red Pine Gondola to reach the trailhead area.
- 2Allocate at least 4 to 5 hours for this trek as the technical, rocky terrain requires slow and deliberate footwork.
- 3Pack a pair of high-traction hiking boots and trekking poles to navigate the loose scree and narrow knife-edge sections safely.
- 4Bring a minimum of two liters of water and high-energy snacks, as there is zero shade or water access once you begin the ascent.
- 5Check the Canyons Village lift schedule in advance to ensure you return before the gondola closes for the day.
- 6Download an offline GPS map since the trail markers can become sparse during the final scramble to the summit.
