Frisco Peak GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

Turn here off UT-21 (38.43914, -113.15348) and follow the obvious road. Likely any vehicle can make it to the spot I started, or pretty close to it. The road just gets a lot steeper past here, and while I definitely could have driven it to the summit of Frisco Peak, I was feeling a morning warm-up. Really this hike isn't particularly interesting because it's just a road walk, but the views are nice a fair amount of the time and pleasant road walking was a good change to break up my last few days of difficult cross-country stuff.
