Before winter fades too fast in our memories, I thought I'd share one of mine and Heidi's favorite hiking trails. We love to go up Millcreek Canyon, a mere 15 minutes from door to trail. We love a trail known as Desolation Trail (why the name elludes me). For those familiar with the Canyon, it is just east of Millcreek Inn and borders on the east edge of Tracy Wigwam BSA camp.
The trail is 2 miles, one way, to what is a view of the SLC valley. As the trail is on the north side of the mountain, it has plenty of snow, while the other side of the canyon may show little or no snow. The pics I have included are two different trips, one in a snow storm and deep trail snow and the other on a bright sunny day following snow earlier in the week.
The dogs love it and know when we are going. They run way up the trail and then run back to us only to repeat the same. Other people, usually with dogs, do the trail and we have to watch when we pass that no altercations occur. But our dogs are good natured and rarely have a problem.
When summer rolls around the trail is still great, although their are many great summer trails. Those are waiting for another post later this summer. In mean time hope you enjoy the pics.
