Notes
Both a paved trail and a dirt trail here wind through meadows and along a gentle mountain stream. Parking is limited in the parking lot. Mountains bikes are only allowed on the first half-mile of the trail. Bikes are allowed on the City Creek Canyon Road that parallels this trail. This trail is too steep, narrow, and uneven to be considered wheelchair and stroller-friendly. The City Creek Canyon Road is an alternative to this route as it is fully paved though still steep and very steep (over 8% grade) along the way.
