From the trailhead, hike due east along the powerlines for 1000 feet. At the junction, turn south and hike another 500 feet to the base of the P.

We hiked to the Payson P as part of the scavenger hunt for Payson City's rebranding event. Even though we went in the morning, it was still quite warm. Madi and Cooper complained for almost the whole hike. We didn't have great beta for the best trail, so we rook the long way up and the short way down.
