Cherry Peak Resort is Utah's newest ski resort, opening in 2015. This canyon has year round activities and events, including a summer concert series.
Cherry Peak (also known as Cherry Creek Peak) is probably one of the more dramatic peaks in the Bear River Range because of the 700+ ft. vertical drop on its North Face. It receives its name from all the wild chokecherry trees that grow near Cherry Creek. From the west it appears to be a near perfect pyramid and from the north a giant wall of rock. It is the third highest officially named peak in the Bear River Range and the fourth actual highest. (Bullen Hole Peak is higher at 9,828 ft. but the name is unofficial.) It is one of the few major peaks in the range that lie completely within the Mt. Naomi Wilderness Area. It is about a mile northwest of Naomi Peak itself. High Creek Lake is at the base of the mountain on the east.
Cherry Peak is most visible from Richmond, Utah. The town is situated directly in the mouth of Cherry Creek Canyon. It is difficult to see from other areas in Cache Valley because Prater Mountain blocks the view to the north and City Creek Peak blocks it on the south. It is not visible from the Bear Lake Valley to the east as it is situated on the western side of the range.
The cache is hidden among the rocks. Add a half star difficulty if there is recent snow fall. Please place cache back the same or better than you found it. This can be a busy area and if not covered properly could bring much muggle activity.
Please park in the lots below. Do not try to park next to it.
