Last Sunday I took the dogs out on a tour from my home in
Old Town Park City, up to Jupiter Peak, then the no name 10,006 peak between
Jupiter top lift station and Guardsman’s Pass from there to Scotts Pass and
then the ridge line all the way to the Iron Mountain trail head. Count about
4,000+ feet elevation gain and a bunch of miles (not sure how many). In any
case, this got me a close up view of the progress at the Quicksilver Gondola.
From the looks of it seems that although there is a little work left they have
a good shot at having everything up and running on time.
Here are the pictures (click to enlarge):

I'd love to hike up their can you get me some directions. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Ryan, the shortest way would be to hike from the Iron Mountain trail head. Another approach could be from a bit before Guardsmans Pass (coming from SLC there is a small parking lot one switchback from the pass) then hike to Scotts Pass then Pine Cone ridge all the way to the mid station. If all you want is to summit Jupiter and you don't want to walk a lot then park at Guardsmans Pass and you are about 20 min from the summit.
