Hike to the Summit of Buckley Mountain
Provo, Utah
4.0
18 mi
/ 5000 ft gain
There are a few ways to get to the top of Buckley, but the funnest (and most strenuous) way to get up to Buckley is taking the trail up Slate Canyon. Slate Canyon has a parking lot and bathroom located at the base of the trail, and the trailhead is about ten minutes from the Provo Center Street exit on 1-15. Park in the Slate Canyon parking lot and start up the trail. After about three miles of...

Maple Mountain (aka Spanish Fork Peak)
Springville, Utah
10.56 mi
/ 4524 ft gain
The trail starts out very easy, but keep an eye out for the fork in the trail at the creek. It's easy to miss. It's right at the metal bench that will be on the left. Cross the creek and continue another quarter mile or so when you'll notice another branch to your left. Keep going straight here and the rest of the trail is easy to follow (minus the fallen trees across the trail). This trail is ...

The Y Trail
Provo, Utah
3.5
2.29 mi
/ 1063 ft gain
Hiking the Y is a classic hike in Provo, Utah—but don't expect it to be easy! There's no shade and not much greenery, so it's a hot, dusty trek to the top. Once you reach the Y, though, the view of the Provo and Utah Lake is amazing. There are also benches at the top.
When you reach the Y, you will first come to a point about halfway up the Y. You can stop here or keep going up the fork in the...

Hike to Buckley's Abandoned Mine
Provo, Utah
4.6
3 mi
/ 200 ft gain
Once you reach the mine it's gated but you can slide in. Follow the main tunnel a hundred or so feet back and climb the 75 foot ladder up to the second level. You can then make your way back out to the cliff face where there is another gate to the outside. That gate is a little trickier to squeeze through but it's a great spot for a campfire on the other side. Bring some wood and mallows to toa...
