Hiking in Salt Lake - Pipeline Trail

Wednesday was my first day off from work so I decided to tackle some of the hiking trails everybody has been talking about. For those who are interested in hiking in this area, I will be posting images and describing the hikes each time I go — which I hope will be every week on my day off. For my first hike, I researched some areas but didn’t really know which trail to go on so I headed to Millcreek Canyon and figured I would just stop. Well I got to Millcreek Canyon and drove until the road ended. I got out of my car and saw two bikers so i asked them what trail I should take and here is what they sent me on… and instead of dragging my Mark II, here is the brilliance of a point and shoot.

So about Pipeline Trail — Take 3800 South and go east and this will throw you directly into Mill creek Canyon. Park at the Church Fork picnic area then start hiking up Rattlesnake Gultch, hopefully no relation to the snake. At some points it got a little steep (or maybe I am really out of shape) but for the most part you look across the canyon. At the summit, you are able to see the whole valley and that is awesome. I decided to bring a book and read there, overlooking the city.
