Lots of hike a bike to get to the top... but all that elevation makes for a fantastic downhill all the way back to provo after some great views. Careful of hikers, most popular for hiking, and gets narrow and overgrown with scrub oak at the top. The gully climb has some steep and loose rocky and rooty sections.
