Hike to the Fantasy Ridge Summit
HikingChallengingSummerYear-round
Navigate a technical, rocky knife-edge ridge at Canyons Village for the most dramatic 360-degree views in the Uinta Range.
Itinerary tips
- 1Take the Red Pine Gondola from Canyons Village to significantly reduce the total elevation gain required to reach the trailhead.
- 2Pack a high-quality pair of approach shoes or hiking boots with aggressive tread to safely navigate the loose scree and narrow rock scrambles.
- 3Allocate at least 4 to 5 hours for the round trip to account for the technical pace required along the exposed ridge sections.
- 4Carry a minimum of two liters of water and high-protein snacks, as there is zero shade or water access once you move past the mid-mountain lodge.
- 5Park in the free Cabriolet lot at Canyons Village and use the open-air gondola to reach the base area without paying for premium garage parking.
- 6Download an offline GPS map beforehand because the trail markings can become ambiguous once you reach the talus slopes near the summit.
