Alien Tower via Deer Ridge Trailhead
A sculpted sandstone monolith rising above the Wasatch foothills, Alien Tower offers dramatic silhouettes, textured rock detail and panoramic views of the Salt Lake Valley and Oquirrh Mountains. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side-light and long shadows; also excellent for nightscapes and Milky Way when skies are clear. Access via Deer Ridge Trailhead (parking along Deer Ridge Dr); expect a moderately steep, partly unmarked scramble to the base—wear sturdy shoes. No entry fee; be aware:
