The most popular way to access the Provo bench trails, the unofficial single track highway up to the altar. This trail is a pretty stiff climb, with several sections that are really punchy. Not much time to rest here, except a few little short rolls down hill. There is one dry creek crossing that requires a bit of skill and punch to get back up, but once you hit that, you know you are almost to The Altar
