Trail Overview

This is an easy dirt road with some steep drop offs on the west side of the trail. The gates to this trail close November through March, as high elevation snow makes it impassable. Springtime you may encounter snow or muddy spots. Best time is mid summer and fall. Once dry, the trail is very easy. The views of the valley are unrivaled from this trail, making it one of the most breathtaking and worthwhile.

Skyline is now open from Bountiful to Farmington. Saw a few families camping at various spots along the way. No snow on the trail.

Super easy trail, was fun to get to farmington lake. Once you get to the first pond there's a dirt road that is pretty washed out. You will need to drive through part of the pond to get to the other side of the trail. Other than that the trail is easy but you'll need a lifted vehicle, it wouldn't hurt to have diff breathers.
