Hidden Hollow Tower
Date Placed: July 4th, 2011
Carver: Tow
Planters: Tow and Tagalong
Location: At the Ranches in Eagle Mountain City, Utah
Status: Active
Take some binoculars to see 360-degree view at the top. A camera is also recommended. One can see southwest towards Eagle Mountain Center and Camp Floyd, west to Cedar Fort and Eagle Mountain Ranches, Saratoga Springs, Lehi, American Fork, along the lakefront (Utah Lake) to Orem and Provo.
Go to exit 278 on I-15, to the Pioneer Crossing exit. Turn west traveling through residential Lehi, across the Jordan River into Saratoga Springs to Redwood Road (traffic light and end of Pioneer Crossing). Turn left and go to the next signal light, about 1 mile. Turn right on Pony Express Parkway and go west, past West Lake High School and Vista Heights Middle School. Keep going up and over the hill into Eagle Mountain. At the second stop sign, there will be a Chevron Station on your left. Continue west on Pony Express Parkway and follow the road about 2 miles. There will be two more stop signs. At the second stop sign, Hidden Hollow Elementary School will be on the left. Turn left on Hidden Hollow Valley Pkwy-7500 N, which passes in front of the school. On your left will be an open area where you can park near the stop sign.
Walk back to the stop sign and cross the road, Pony Express Parkway, at the crosswalk. There is a dirt road that goes along the edge of the hill. Follow along the dirt road that goes up the hill. Do not take the other two roads to the right, stay on the road that curves around to the left. Walk until you come to three large boulders on the right, two large boulders (almost cubical in shape), which are almost touching. Notice the crystals on the boulder on the right. Please, Do Not chip at the crystals. Go to the back of the two boulders and push the creosote bush out of the way. There will be some smaller rocks stacked over the plastic box. This is box Number One. Replace it after sharing the stamp.
Now continue following the road up the hill until you come to an intersection on the dirt road at the top of the ridge. There is a large tree on the left next to a power box look under rocks at the backside of the tree for box #2. Please cover it again.
Walk up the road towards the tower. When you reach the tower, the road continues a loop around the top of the hill. Follow the road straight a short distance (about 100 feet, ½ way between the tower and some surveyor markers). You will see a rock outcropping on the left with two medium size rocks sitting on top. Behind this outcropping (downhill) is another flat rock. Box #3 will be under a shelf of the rock. The road circles around this summit, so walk around for a fantastic view in all directions. Looking down the hill to the west is the Eagle Mountain Airport. Looking downhill to the east is The Ranches at Eagle Mountain housing. Notice how many church steeples you can see. Have a great hike!
