Mormon Canyon

Mormon Canyon Trail weaves its way along the Meadow Valley Range and Mormon Mountains wilderness. According to the maps, the trail supposedly goes all the way through, but I was unsuccessful in locating where exactly the trail continues north and had to turn around and go back out. So plan for this to be an out-and-back trail - roughly 4 hours to complete. That said, it's a very scenic trail that offers a ton of variety both in driving terrain and scenery. The trail parallels the train tracks where "No Trespassing" signs (walk-on tracks) are posted - please respect all signs. There are several washes and a small water crossing you'll encounter that could be hazardous in wet conditions. A few sections in the trail are narrow with vegetation - wider vehicles will be brushed. Several rocky sections and water erosion damage are also present. Summer months will reach triple-digit temperatures so bring plenty of water.
