Francis Peak

This area extends southward from Webb Canyon to Farmington Canyon, in Davis County. It is contiguous with the Thurston Peak unit, and together they are proposed as a wilderness area by the Ogden Sierra Club. The Bair Canyon trail leads from the foothills into the heart of this area. A good gravel road climbs from Farmington to the radar installation on Francis Peak, providing easy access to the ridge tops.

Issues affecting this unit include:

• Heli-skiing along ridges, as proposed in the most recent draft of the Wasatch-Cache National Forest management plan.
  

• Mapping proposed wilderness boundaries.
  

• Hiker access from the east.
  

• Grazing (east of the ridgeline).
  

• Extension of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail south beyond Bair Canyon.
