Salt Lake City's graticule is at latitude 40, longitude -111. All things considered it's a pretty good graticule. It is almost exclusively land, including several national forests. Terrain is easily the largest obstacle, as the Wasatch Mountains cut right through the center of the graticule, but mountains are traversable.
The graticule contains (from north to south) Kaysville, Salt Lake City, West Jordan, Sandy, Provo and Orem. Additionally, the Brigham City/Salt Lake graticule as well as the Layton and Ogden graticule share this page. For meetup days that are inaccessible in the Salt Lake graticule, or that are in areas out of range of most SLC geohashers, we may opt to meet in these graticules instead.

Participants
- Taylor (Most Mondays and Fridays. If the geohash is inaccessible then I might do the graticule to the north instead (I live in the Layton area).
- McKay Let's do this. I might even consider a decent hike some Saturday.
- Fredward I'm interested, but I'm a student, so I have rather limited time and transportation.
- Shadowkhas Sounds like fun! I'm mainly available weekends for the next couple of weeks (school), but then over the summer, any day afternoon is fine with me!
- Merrick Kite ~ I'll be attempting the hikes most Saturdays, except the first of the month.
News
- 2008-05-24 40 -111 First "meetup". Successful Attempt by McKay
- 2008-05-25 40 -111 Unsuccessful(ish) attempt by Taylor
