Clayton Peak
Clayton Peak is a high mountain peak at an elevation of 3.196m (10,485ft) above the sea level, located in Salt Lake County, in the U.S. state of Utah. The summit offers amazing 360 degree views of the surrounding canyons.
Located on the eastern side of Utah's Wasatch Mountains, the road to the summit, also known as Mount Majestic, is rocky and gravel. It’s a chairlift access trail. This trail can be done only a very narrow time-frame in the summer (end of August). Due to the high elevations and exposure, the road is subject to strong winds and rapid weather changes. Be prepared for the cold and wind! High winds blow here all year long. Even in summer you can confront with snowy days.
The road to the summit is a ski-station service road pretty steep, with some sections up to 30%. The journey offers an exhilarating driving experience, with superb views. An incredible journey, an unforgettable experience. On a clear day you can see the Brighton Lakes area, the Wasatch Mountains, the Uinta Mountains, Heber Valley, and Mount Timpanogos.
