There are several paths and trails you can take-some on foot, some by bike. I even saw clues that horses had been there! At the trailhead, there is plenty of marked parking along with bathrooms. It's easy to find via GPS and you can do shorter or longer trails-whatever floats your boat. Just keep track of where you are because without a map or sense of direction, you could easily get turned around!

Drive up and run down for 5 solid miles of scenic/peaceful views.

This review is for Silver Lake Trail which was a ~4.5 miles round trip that took ~3.5 hours to…read morecomplete. This was another one of those hikes that was stunning from beginning to end near Alpine, Utah. Trail begins with a surrounding of aspen trees and eventually becomes an exposed area as you climb up the side of the mountain towards the lake. There were two water crossings at this time and easy to cross with the logs and rocks. For the most part, the trail was narrow and rocky with a steady incline. Required to drive on a bumpy dirt road for ~3 miles. Recommend a high clearance vehicle. Parking lot can fill up fast at the trailhead because the people who kayak, swim, etc at the Silver Lake Flat Reservoir also park in this area. Unfortunately, the restrooms were disgusting and not maintained at this time. Short video of the hike for those interested! https://youtu.be/T2qSWpR7pIM

We…read moredo live in a beautiful state and it's appropriate for us to step outside, take a look around and appreciate when nature shows off. I joined a group of hikers and hit the trails this past week, in search of some great fall colors. Bell Canyon did not disappoint. There is plenty of parking at the trailhead, including clean bathrooms. The first part of the trail is pretty rocky and has a decent elevation gain-poles are helpful, but at the least, have good shoes with some traction. Once you get to the reservoir, it's pretty flat and there are lots of places you can get amazing pictures. Be sure to take some time down by the water-it's so calming and just beautiful. There were some detour signs on the trail, so we didn't get the full experience (not sure why it was closed, but we tried to follow signs until they suddenly stopped. So we turned around and came the way we went.) Overall, it's a beautiful hike and I'd love to come try it again when the trail is open.

You will able to see all the way to Provo, and all the way to Bountiful with the 360 degree view. Just absolutely gorgeous. I only saw five people on the trail today, and that was mostly when I was coming down. Good short hike for families, and part of the trail is off-leash for dogs. ** Garbage can available to put your dog poop in, but people seem to just leave it on the trail. ***No bathrooms available. #leavenotrace

If you're looking for something really remote and "away from it all," this probably isn't the hike for you since you almost always have views of civilization, but if you want a quick hour long hike before you start work in the morning, this one's perfect.

This trail is the first I've ever hiked in UT and I honestly don't know why I had to pick a difficult one on my first hike here. I actually found this on Instagram, I was very interested with the lake. It looked really nice in the picture. So there I was one fine afternoon, there's actually two trails in the same area white pine and red pine. It solid by the time you pass couple miles from the start. Lol It was a very nice hike, breathtaking, just awesome view of the mountains. For people who loves to soul search this is the lake/hike for you. It's very peaceful it's worth the hike!! Lol Just make sure you put some insect repellant on! It is very swampy at certain areas so bugs are everywhere! Also, wear hiking shoes because it's very rocky and wet in some parts. When you think you have reached the top, no! It's not you're going to make a left and that is where the lake is located. I suggest hiking this trail it's really nice and amazing!

He also shared some fascinating history about the cave, including how it was discovered in 1887 and later developed into a national monument so visitors could safely explore its beautiful formations.

I didn't realize there'd still be so much snow, so I forgot long socks. It was sunny and in the high 70s, but I saw people hiking shirtless, in flip-flops with socks, shorts, snow gear, and even snowshoes. At that point, I gave up trying to figure out if I was doing it right and just went with it. Every step felt like a gamble. I had no clue what was under the snow or how deep it went. The trail is hard to follow with all the snow, so I recommend using the AllTrails app. My feet sank into snow that felt like a 7-Eleven slushy. I slipped on icy snow and even fell into a hole, but it was worth it, lol. Without snow, it's an easy hike. With snow, I'd consider it intermediate. It's -2 mi RT (3 hours with 1 hr break). You'll cross two small bridges (one with rails & one without). When you see the "Welcome to the Wasatch-Cache National Forest" sign, follow the water stream. It'll take you to Gloria Falls (~0.25 miles left). There's a parking lot and one restroom (separate stalls). parking was almost full when I got there late morning on a Thursday. I'd def come back when there's no snow to experience it differently.
