Join Sarah, Clark, and me as we hike from Francis Peak to Thurston Peak—the highest point in both Morgan and Davis counties, Utah!

We enjoyed a beautiful sunny day with comfortable temperatures and incredible Wasatch Mountain scenery. Great company and mountain air made this a wonderful day on the trail above Layton, Utah.

The route from the Francis Peak area to Thurston Peak is approximately 8 miles round trip, depending on where you start and the route you take (obviously). One summit, two county high points, and plenty of beautiful scenery along the way!

Thanks for coming along! If you enjoyed the hike, give the video a thumbs up and subscribe for more adventures.
