Cedar Mountain
About an hour and a half from Salt Lake in the western desert of Utah is a small range of mountains called the Cedar Mountains. They are the first rise east of the Salt Flats and Lake Desert.
Got camp up just before sunset.

Dinner on the tailgate.
Started near Quincy Springs, route followed the ridge on the right. We climbed up on the right to the shrub trees on the skyline. From there, it was ridge walking to the summit.
A few snow patches left here and there.
Views west were long and boring.
Kind of cliffy on the left side.
Going up the ridge. True summit is on right, out of view.
On summit ridge, working our way south to the true summit.
About halfway up, we came within 200 feet of wild horses. We met them again at the summit. I don't care much for horses but the one leading this group was amazing looking. As Dozer approached, the leader would have everyone run while he stayed back to see if Dozer was changing tactics until the last minute.
Running down the ridge.
View south from the summit.
Looking north, Skull Valley on right.
Looking across Skull Valley to the Stansbury Range and Deseret Peak.
Family on the summit. I'm pretty sure we brought the youngest kids up there ever.
