Notes: Mahogany Mountain can be an easy hike or a hard one, depending on how far you want to go and which route to take. You can be on the Utah Valley overlook in 30 minutes if you take the easiest route: From the Timpooneke CG, travel on the dirt road that goes around the north end of Mt Timpanogos, When you get into Sagebrush Flats, travel another 1/3 mile and take the road split to the right. Follow this to the end. Park and walk up to the top of the knob to the west. Go to the south end of that to pick up the trail to Mahogany Mountain. The trail goes up that ravine you see to the northwest.
You climb 470 feet over 1.3 miles to the first peak.
The peak to the south is the true Mahogany Mountain. You drop down to a saddle, then climb back up. You are now 520 feet above your car and 2 miles away.

Trailhead: Follow the Timpanooke Road around the north end of the Timpanogos mountain range for 6 miles. Most of it on a dirt road. After getting into Sagebrush Flat, take a side road to the north for a quarter mile to the trailhead.

Destination
 Elevation: 8990
Notes: When you get to the top, you are rewarded with great views of Utah Valley. On clear days, you can see over Travers Mountain into Salt Lake Valley. Now turn around for a front row seat to Mount Timpanogos. Looking across Sagebrush Flat, the east face of this mountain is massive.

(Is this a different hike??)
Mahogany Mountain North Peak Trail is a 4 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Cedar Hills, UT that features beautiful wild flowers and is only recommended for very experienced adventurers. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible from April until October.

To get to the trailhead, you'll have to walk along the golf cart path. It's situated just behind one of the greens. The best place to park would be just off of Canyon Road before mile marker 5. There's a gravel road that leads to a parking lot of sorts. You can walk to the trail head from there. It's best to look at it in satellite view on Google maps.

The trail itself runs right along the ridge of American Fork Canyon so you get nice views into the canyon and of the valley the higher up you get. The trail is pretty steep and has some difficult parts with loose rock to navigate through so it's not exactly suited for kids, but I suppose that depends on your kids.
