Rock climbing is the highlight of this trail, but there are several other longer trails you can merge onto, especially the BST which has a great view of the valley. Trails are single file, and are clearly marked for a perfect place to mountain bike. Please use trail etiquette. Bikes yield to hikers and horses. Dogs are allowed if leashed. Please pick up after your dog. #leavenotrace **No bathrooms ***Small parking lot

It's a short trail but it is perfect if you just want a quick hike. This year there are a lot of snake sightings, and a sign is actually posted at the front of the trail , but we didn't see any. With only a 308 elevation gain super easy for little kids. Shared with bikes along the way with separate downhill trails just for bikes. Which makes it nice.

Utah has an abundance of beautiful trails that wind in and around nature and if you've not taken…read moreadvantage of them, you're missing out. That was the thought that went through my mind this morning when I decided to hit the trail and appreciate nature. The Peak View Trailhead is in Corner Canyon and leads to multiple paths. It's easy to discover new trails or paths each time you visit. There's a parking lot and restrooms at the trail head and signage that points to various paths that you can take. I also noticed that there's an app you can download that will tell you about the different trails and give you a map so you can pick the path that appeals to you. It's sort of a "choose your own adventure" sort of thing. The paths that I found myself on today were Hyde N Seek, Hoof N Boot, and Canyon Hollow Trail. Each one was beautiful and the fall colors were magnificent. There are many more paths for me to discover-I hope you will too.

This is a multi-use, double wide, moderate rated trail…read more A mountain bikers dream trail. So many bikers today. Parking lot was mostly bikers, and a few of us hikers. This is a pretty dirt trail. It's shady the first part of the trail, until you get higher in elevation then you won't be covered in shade. Trail is rocky, dusty, and dry right now. We need some rain. There are signs that say if the trail is muddy stay off, but you can clearly see the ruts in the trail that the bikes have made riding in the mud. There is a huge paved parking lot with a few picnic tables with covering. They even have a water faucet which I definitely used. Access to many other trails in the area. Some are for hiking only, if you don't want to keep stopping for bikers, even though the rules are stated that bikers need to yield to hikers stay on the footpaths only. Dogs are allowed below the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, but not above. This trail crosses both areas. Please follow this rule as this is our watershed. A big sized deer ran right in front of me pretty early on the trail. Lots of wild life. I also saw lots of birds, (cool hawks), lots of lizards, squirrels, and even a skunk. There is a sign at the trail head that reminds you that you are in cougar country. I didn't see any. Probably because of all the bikers. I also didn't see any snakes. Thank God. There seems to be a lot this year, or maybe there have always been, but people are just posting pictures of their snake encounters more because of social media. I thought for sure I would see one especially up by lone rock. Just because it's so rocky. All in all a pretty good hike 5.7 miles in 3.01 hrs with an elevation gain of 1,138 feet. I'm slow what can I say. *clean bathrooms available **large parking lot #leavenotrace

This was an amazing scenic drive that was highly recommend by a friend who lives in town. I took…read morethe drive early in the morning stopping at a few different places to take more and more pictures. It was beautiful. I passed a stop called the bloods lake hike which I remember reading about as I was planning my trip. So I stopped to take the hike. I thought it was going to be shorter than it was so I left my bag with water, back up charger, etc. Wish I brought it with me. The hike to bloods lake and back from the parking lot took 3.3 miles. It was tough for me because of the inclines and I'm no hiker. I'm from Florida and used to flat land so I don't know if my calves have ever worked so hard. The trail was very populated giving it was a Monday. Many people with dogs. The view once you arrive to the lake is worth the journey! I took a couple photos before my phone died. I then returned to this drive later in the evening to watch the sunset. I stopped at the one of the fist stops called empire pass and it was gorgeous. Same view as the morning but so much prettier with the colors in the sky!

***UPDATED REVIEW = My review is NOT for Guardsman Pass Overlook I did NOT go here. Yelp for some…read morereason attached my review for the Lake Lackawaxen Trail and Lake to Guardsman Pass Overlook. I never even went to the lookout. The trail starts down the street at the parking lot across the street from the new Bloods Lake Trail. Who ever the yelper app people are that did this it's not cool. You don't live here so you don't know the area. Trust that when people add a new "listing" they know what they are talking about! To get to Lake Lackawaxen trail you will need to first hike about 1.8 miles on the Bloods Lake Trail until you get to the lake. (which is a beautiful lake) Continue on the trail, which is clearly marked about a mile more up the trail. This part of the trail is a little more steep, and definitely more rocky but well worth the climb. There is a fork in the road where you can continue to go towards the left or make a right and climb up to Clayton Peak. If you want to go to Lackawaxen stay on the left side of the trail. It takes you past a couple rock scrambles but are easy enough to pass. This lake is very serene, and peaceful not as many people climb up to this lake as the one below. Dogs are allowed on the trail just not near the lake. Please respect the rules and keep your dog from going into the water as this is our watershed. Perfect time of the year to climb to the lake as the leaves are changing colors and the temps are much cooler.

The parking lot is paved and pretty big. Id say it would fit about 25 cars in the marked stalls and a handful more on the curb. Theres also a bathroom! For the bikers, there is a a fix-it station as well and signage for navigating the trails. I spent a few hours here walking around and really enjoyed the peaceful sounds of the creek. It didnt drown out my heavy breathing (out of shape!), but it was a nice sound of nature. Im sure you can spend hours walking around the canyon and find neat little spots to relax and check out. I didnt encounter very many people on the trail so if you like that, this is definitely your place. This trail is dog friendly as well. I saw a guy who had 3 pups with him and they seemed to be loving the trail. Id rate this as a moderate difficulty, and maybe best for kids 6+, though im sure younger ones could do it. Overall, very enjoyable trail. No Starbucks at the top, so pack enough water! Be prepared for some incline and uphill, but take it slow and steady and you'll be rewarded with great views!

This trailhead was very unexpected, but quite nice. I've not hiked a lot up this part of the…read morecanyon--my teenage years were spent in the canyon, but we always took the fork to Tibble and rarely did I go up and over the Alpine Loop, or even anywhere along UT 92. Once you pass that aforementioned fork to Tibble, the road does narrow a bit. I drove the loop last fall and it was tense--bumper to bumper cars trying to take in a weekend drive of the foliage and not very enjoyable when the road is really only wide enough for one direction of traffic. The good news is that this trailhead isn't far past the fork at all, so we made on large hairpin, one tight one, and boom, it's there on your right (if you're coming up from the Lehi/Alpine side). It's a generously-sized parking lot, has restrooms, signage, and is a great starting off point. We took the Pine Hollow Trail #47, which is the namesake, obvs. We crossed the road, went up, and took the loop clockwise that goes up to some killer views of the back side of Timp, and then comes back down to Salamander Flat near the road, before cutting back up into the forest, meeting up with Trail #47 again, and retracing the steps back to the trailhead. You can, however, launch off from here, and go all the way up to Mud Flat and pop down at Tibble, if you're after a longer hike and have a shuttle set up. The hikes here are lovely, probably even moreso in Autumn. The very very earliest of leaves were already starting to fade a bit, so get out and make hay while the summer sun shines. Not a massively popular trailhead, but due to its size and convenience, you'll see plenty of folks doing just that. Keep an eye out for bikes and motorcycles on the trail; we saw both.
