Description
This is a fun singletrack trail that brings you past Switchback, a water tank, and then to the Upper City Creek Trail. Most of your way will be uphill if you start from Cove Drive, but the grades are generally tame and you'll be at the top in no time. The trail generally heads through open meadows, so appropriate sun protection is advised. This is an alternative route to taking City Creek Road to the City Creek Trail.
