Interesting history behind Malans Peak, as "Tim Malan" first carved a path to the summit of the mountain in 1882 and built a hotel. While the hotel has since burnt down, the summit of the mountain offers incredible views looking over the valley at 6,980 feet. The steep ascent is difficult, but you'll be glad you stuck to it once you arrive at the summit.

The summit of Malans Peak rises up to 6,916 feet and looks across the ridges of the foothills of Ogden. The entire trail up to the summit has spotty views, but the top offers the best vantage point without having to climb any further up the valley. The final trail to the summit is a bit tough to run, but it starts opening up, and you just want to look around instead of keeping your eyes on the ground anyway.
