Trail Overview
This trail starts off the main Ephraim Canyon Road 2 miles from the start of the canyon. After 2.8 miles, you make a right turn onto Willow Creek Road. Travel another 1.4 miles and take the side trail 51230. Up until this point, you are traveling on dirt roads. When you turn left onto 51230 the trail narrows and you are in the trees. This is a very pretty section of the trail and while there are some rocky sections, it is lower intermediate in difficulty. After about 3.4 miles, you drop back onto Ephraim Canyon Road. The total distance is a little less than 8 miles.
