This turned out to be a very nice and scenic hike. The trail is a nice one, and there were lots of wildflowers blooming throughout the hike.

It was a bit warm and I was wishing that I had started earlier.

The parking lot was getting full by the time that I arrived, and it was completely full when I got back. However, there weren't all that many people hiking up to Naomi Peak -- apparently they were going to some of the nearby lakes.

You won't find a lot of solitude on this hike, but it really wasn't all that crowded, and I was there on a Sunday with really nice weather.

This hike is worth doing if you are ever in the area.

Naomi Peak has been on my list for sentimental reasons. I traversed the Bear River Range last September as part of the Bear 100, and it seems logical to summit the highpoint of the range as well. Also, the Tony Grove and White Pine area are said to be particularly scenic, but for those of us slow folks, you don't get there until it's dark...

When I got to the lake, it didn't disappoint. Bigger and prettier than I expected. Also a little crowded, but it is Labor Day...

The trail itself is pretty mellow most of the way, and then gets moderately steep the last mile or so. Pretty easy summit overall (unless you try it from the west end of the trail, in which case you might climb 6000 feet). Outstanding view from the top, although it's unfortunately very hazy today all over the great basin... I couldn't even see across the Cache Valley, but normally it would provide a good view of the Wasatch, and I suspect you could even see the Uintas and Winds off in the distance.

Pretty worthwhile summit if you're in the area and you're looking for something relatively easy.

I had plans to head up from Highway 89 via Blind Hollow trail, but alas, more sleep was more enticing. I started at Tony Grove Lake and took my time getting to the peak. This trail reminded me of something that would be in the Sierras albeit the rock isn't granite.

Naomi has some good views of Logan Canyon and you can see into Idaho so that's pretty cool. Taking the trail back to the car seemed mundane so I opted to follow the ridgeline south/southeast to a trail that would lead me back to the lake. The first section was really steep with mostly solid footing, except for the slippery contouring. After that it's a gentle ridge walk with insane amounts of scat everywhere.

I didn't take the time to load my track onto my GPS so I wasn't exactly sure where I'd meet up with the trail. I thought I found it at one point, but it was just a very, very well traveled game trail that came to an end sooner than expected. I wasn't lost, I just didn't know where my path-of-least-resistance was at. I passed some cows but they weren't any help at all, running off before I could have a word with them.

The ridgeline started to drop down into an aspen grove so I figured my trail would be there because of where it was in relation to the lake. Somewhere on the way down, my shoe plowed into a beautiful cowpie. The good news is that my trail was there and I was able to have a brush-free walk back to the lake.

"Just take the trail back next time."
Thanks, Captain Hindsight!
