Monte Cristo and Mount Superior are short but tough hikes in the Wasatch Mountain Range near Salt Lake City, Utah. At just over 5 miles out and back and 2,500 feet in elevation gain, these two peaks are attainable but very difficult. Directly out of the gate be prepared for a steep fight as you bag a couple peaks. After gaining the first ridge at Cardiff Pass the trek becomes more serious as the scrambling intensifies. This adventure requires some nerves or past peaking experience alone with no fear of heights. Views abound throughout this magnificent hiking/climbing adventure. Mount Superior's razor ridge will leave you amazed as you look down thousands of feet into Little Cottonwood Canyon. Monte Cristo and Mount Superior trailhead in just minutes up Little Cottonwood Canyon from Salt Lake City near the small mountain town of Alta, Utah. This entire hike is extremely exposed not only to the sun but to steep cliff edges.
