My hike on Sunday began at Our Lady of the Snows, the small Catholic Church located at Alta. From there I made my way to Grizzly Gulch and took it all the way up to Twin Lakes Pass. I then contoured around the backside of Honeycomb Cliffs over to Solitude, entering at the spot where patrol sets up the Highway to Heaven gate during ski/snowboard season. Before beginning the climb up to Fantasy Ridge, I walked over to the head of Honeycomb Canyon and snapped a couple photos of some of the terrain accessed by those who ascend Honeycomb Cliffs.
The high point slightly right of center is Black Bess Peak (10,479').
In the center of the photo is Honeycomb Peak (10,488'), the highest elevation spot on Fantasy Ridge and at Solitude Mountain Resort.
Looking down Honeycomb Canyon from Fantasy Ridge. Once on the ridge, I could see the upper portion of the new RACS (Remote Avalanche Control System) tower situated above what I estimated to be the Prince of Wales and Boundary Chutes ski terrain and began heading along the ridgeline in that direction.
