Sep 09, 2018 — At the end of the Whiting Campground, there's a free parking lot for hikers. Follow the trail a short while until you see a trail split off to the right over a stream, which leads on a well-maintained that alternates between forests and meadows until your reach the Maple Canyon Lake (dry on my visit). From here, the trail conitnues up to the north ridge of Spanish Fork Peak. There are two trails that diverge - one follows steeply up the ridge, and the other continues around the false Spanish Fork Peak summit, adding some extra time. I went up the steep ridge and continued to the summit, where you get nice 360 degree views.
