Overview

Hype:

This great family-friendly summit trail offers hikers the kind of scenery you might expect from a more difficult hike but with the effort of an easy one mile out and back. There are a few steep rocky sections but they are quite short. Depending on when you visit expect to see wildlife and wildflowers with the picturesque backdrop of the rugged Wasatch Mountains.
