Hype:
The "M" Trail in Marysvale, Utah, offers a short and rewarding hike to a large white "M" emblazoned on the mountainside. This approximately 0.5-mile round-trip trail ascends a steep slope, providing hikers with panoramic views of Marysvale and the surrounding Sevier Valley. The trailhead is from the shoulder of a dirt road. While the hike is brief, the incline can be challenging, so it's advisable to wear sturdy footwear and bring water. Reaching the "M" offers not only a sense of accomplishment but also a picturesque spot for photography and reflection. This hike is a favorite among locals and visitors alike, especially during sunrise or sunset when the valley is bathed in golden light.

From the trailhead, follow the well-traveled trail northeast for 0.25 miles to the M. Return the way you came.

In the evening, Tara, Madi, and I went on a walk through town. We ended up heading east and discovered a fun old bridge and hiked up to the M on the mountain.
