Trail Overview

This is a beautiful, narrow, rocky road with large loose rocks. It travels through the trees and scrub oak and takes you to an incredible view overlooking north Salt Lake and Bountiful. There is a steep drop on one side most of the way along this road and at times, a steep slope up along the other side of the road. The challenging areas do not have a bypass. You must have high clearance. There are very few places to turn around. There are a few areas of higher challenge that have sloped, jagged, rocky drops of 18-24 inches in the road. The road has some areas that are rutted but most of the time there is room to stay up out of them. This is an out-and-back road.
