Trail Overview

This is an easy-going road, even when you get to the zig zag's going up to the tower site. Great for Sunday drive to some spectacular views of the surrounding valleys and the Great Salt Lake in the distance. It is a well-maintained dirt road that goes all the way to the top, but it can get rutted after a good rainstorm or from the spring thaw. Great to take the family for a great view.

The trail is super cool and ends with an easy shelf road with amazing views. There is some mud and a little bit of snow but easily passable.
