This hike is absolutely gorgeous in the spring with tons of wildflowers.
Squaw Peak Trail is a great hike if you live in Provo, since it is a quick getaway. But still definitely worth the trip if you don't. This 7.1 mile hike has beautiful views and does not long to do
Usually it takes about three hours from start (Rock Canyon) to finish (the Peak) at a decent clip. There is definitely an incline, but it isn't too prolonged.
If you are confused when the start to the squaw peak trail, it is after the 5th bridge. There's is a white post, go left not right. There is also a rock that has "Squaw Peak" etched in it.
