Some significant elevation climb, but it's a fun trail and there aren't usually all that many people on it.
Watch out for snakes in the Summer; I've seen rattlesnakes a couple of times around the water tank thing near the beginning of the trail

Great trail but very difficult on a bike. Rode from the top down and only have to walk once but it was very hard. It’s steep so also wouldn’t recommend it for the casual hiker. Beautiful canyon though! Cool secluded spot close to town.

A very accessible trail! It was well-maintained and had some parts that were well-shaded. It had a nice incline, but I wouldn’t say that it was too difficult. Overall, I would definitely recommend this trail if you’re looking for something quick and easily accessible!

This is an awesome hidden trail at the end of the neighborhood. You can follow the tail all the way back into Hobble Creek Canyon or climb the surrounding mountains.

This is an accessible quick place to go for a hike if you're looking for a place you can drive right to the trail head. The actual trail starts just past the Springville Water tanks. You also pass right through the Bonneville shoreline.

5 mile hike that can be completed in 1.5-2 hours round trip at an average pace. Has a pretty meadow towards the end.

At the moment you'll see Springville is digging out and constructing a nice bike trail for off-road biking just to the south of the road leading to the trail head.

Difficulty level = 1.5 out of 5 (5 being the hardest) Again that's for the average healthy person.

Good for a family hike.

Occasionally you will see wild life (deer, rabbits, and cougars)

Great place to take your dog as well!

The reason I ranked this three stars (I wish Google would allow "half star ratings) as I would rate this 3.5 stars is mainly because it's just not that pretty compared to other trails in the area. It does have a great view when starting out, but overall it's pretty bland. However, this is just my opinion.

Enjoy and happy hiking!

A nice little hike filled with all kinds of vegetative variety... The flowering milk weed was my favorite. Relentlessly steep, uphill almost there entire time. Sturdy shoes are a must. I went in late July... The tall grasses before the end were a bit itchy, so if that bothers you, bring pants and a long shirt. Hike ends at the fence opening I assume. Good hike, got a pretty nice uphill burn going. Bring a headlamp if you get caught in the dark, because it was pitch black in the valley at sundown. 😎

It was a great hike! It's fairly steep and rocky, so I'd recommend good shoes and probably wouldn't take any kids. It's not very shaded, so pick cooler times of the day/year. It has some beautiful views of the valley and mountains, and ends at a good picnic meadow up top. Lots of wildflowers. Took us about 1.75 hours up and 1.5 down, but that's with us taking breaks to enjoy the view.

Nice easy trail with a great view from the start. We were only able to go up about 2 miles before it started getting dark but there are some branch off trails we'd love to explore.
