As a BYU Alum, I'm a bit ashamed to say that this was my second hike. There's the obvious reason that, well, it's the University of Utah's "U", but mostly because --- really? This is what you call "hiking the U"???You would think a symbolic rite of passage would require more of its patrons. I hate to say it, but websites like www.byurejects.com seem appropriate at this time.
While the Block U sits 5300 feet above sea level, don't let it fool you. I would have given this hike 5 heels, but I couldn't waste the treasured 5 heels on this one. A beautiful drive, and mostly a drive, the trailhead for this hike is in a private neighborhood. That is it's completely paved, as in you are literally walking on the street --- for a mere 1/4 mile round trip. The difficult part --- driving up there.
Apparel: Capri Jeans, Audrey Hepburn t-shirt
Shoes: 3 inch Green Peeptoe Wedges
Don't even think of bringing a water bottle. You'll be done before you twist the cap off.
Directions: Go West on South Temple. Turn right on Virginia Street. Follow Virginia Avenue straight North and around until you come to a T and turn right on Chandler Street. Turn right on Tomahawk Dr. Be aware of no parking signs at the top of the cul-de-sac.
