The trailhead is at milepost 28.8 on highway 150. This is the highway between Kamas, UT and Evanston WY and called the Mirror Lake Highway. From Kamas, it is 28.8 miles. From Evanston, it is about 49.2 miles.

At mile marker 28.8, there is a side dirt road (road #462). Just north of it less than a hundred feet is a wide area on the west (left if coming from the south) side of the road that is the trailhead.

Summit: 3238 m ( 10624 ft. )
Trailhead: 3113 m ( 10214 ft. )

From the trailhead, carefully cross the road. There is no trail, but head south and a little east up through the trees. You may pass an old overgrown road cut along the way. Keep going until you pass treeline onto the talus slope that forms the ridge up Murdock Peak. Continue until on the ridge line. The highpoint is marked with about a 6 foot tall cairn and generally easy to spot. It has trees to the east of it, but is on the edge of the talus field.

Bald Mountain is to the north west, with Murdock Peak being the peak directly to the north (and the ridge-line the highpoint is on). Due west are Mount Watson and Notch Peak, along with many stunning small lakes.

From the highpoint, Mt. Cardwell is visible to the south and marks the highest peak in Wasatch County. It is an easy ridge walk over to visit it. (Adding about an hour to the hike.) Return the same way.
