There's plenty of tree cover and it's gorgeous in all seasons. It's perfect right now with the Fall colors. Very gentle incline, great for various ages and abilities. Plenty of street parking, and though it may look busy, many people are only here for picnicking and picture taking near the trailhead. Watch out for mountain bikers here if you're hiking!

It's about 7 miles round trip, but very doable! The terrain is pretty flat with bumps from rocks…read morebut nothing to be concerned about. There are tons of mountain bikers going up and down on these narrow trails. Hikers do have the right of way, but it's courteous to stand on the side to let them slide by. Changing colors are beautiful on this hike! Reminds me that fall is still here, but winter is coming. There were a couple of spots where there was snow, and some places where it was recently melted causing mud. Dogs are allowed on a leash and please pick up after your pups. Once you get to the end of the trail, elephant rock or big rock, there is another path that continues going up! Luckily there are benches to rest your tired feet at the end. I didn't go down to the rock since it was a steep drop, but there are some dare devils that did it.

Beautiful area. $15 seems too high for a single picnic table and the "hosts" are kinda rude. No…read moreother patrons were there. Very quiet. Cash only.

There's plenty of street parking available for people wanting to simply hike on the trail. If you venture in to the national park area, where there are picnic sites; the cost is $8. There is a small river (usually low enough that I feel comfortable letting my kids wade in it) at the trailhead. The Mueller Park Trail is open to hikers, bikers, and horseback riders. The trail is well-groomed. And it's not too difficult. I mean, my two-year-old doesn't have much of a problem navigating it... It's the ideal place for my young family to go & be in the great outdoors. The trail is wide enough, that it doesn't inconvenience anyone when a mountain biker needs to pass a hiker. The scenery is breathtaking. I believe it's 13 miles to the top of the trail. Maybe someday we'll get there? These days, the most my kid's little legs can take is 2 miles. For now, though, the Mueller Park trail is the perfect afternoon excursion.

This is a great hike!!…read more I love this hike. It is very difficult but worth it! The trail is pretty flat along the fire access road but from the trail head on it is a pretty steep incline with lots of switchbacks. There is no shade on the south side of the loop but there is some shade on the north side of it. Patsy's Mine is passed along the south side of trail and is really cool...bring flashlights!! Be cautious as we have ran into rattlesnakes. The view from the top is amazing!! The whole valley can be seen and as the name states...there is a flag sticking out of the rocks at the top...breathtaking!!

Nice place to take sunset photos and see and hear many resident birds. Beautiful area to see the snow capped mountains or if in winter the frozen lake. Definitely worth a stop!

I visit my son in SLC often and come here every chance I get when I'm in town - the birding is SPECTACULAR! The trails are well maintained and the surrounding ponds and mountains are beautiful. This is a helluva place to practice birding and bird photography skills. I've lost count of how many bird species I've seen here - there are over 60 species known to nest here! I've seen so many "lifers" here (birder-speak for first time sightings lol). The Bald Eagles nest here in winter and are easily spotted everywhere! Tundra Swans also pass through in the colder months are a quite a sight to see. They have a small rookery of nest boxes on tall stilts for the Great Blue Herons in spring and they're so fun to watch - especially once the babies hatch! It's especially picturesque with the big red barn reflecting on the large pond. It's right off the parking lot next to the Eccles Education Center. It's truly a beautiful place in all seasons - even winter when it's coveted in snow. You're surrounded by mountains and ponds on all sides - some close and some distant. Wildlife, birds, marshes, dramatic vistas - such a lovely, peaceful place. The Great Salt Lake is so close - and that's one reason there's so many birds (native and migratory) - it's a very important resource for them! There are numerous trails - they're almost entirely flat. Very well maintained- mostly gravel but some boardwalks across the ponds and marshes. There is also a seasonal driving route - it's closed in winter for the nesting birds. The roads are also gravel and dirt and can be a bit rough but doable. I've never needed anything more than our normal car. You can drive up to Goose Egg Island which gives you a great vantage point for the surrounding area and has nice views of the Great Salt Lake. Seasonal duck hunting is allowed so be vigilant and careful. They have a large paved parking lot with plenty of spaces. There are bathrooms in the parking area - decent, regular bathrooms in the education center when it's open and some vaulted toilets open year round and earlier/later than the education center. You don't need any special hiking gear - trails are super easy. But be sure to bring your binoculars or telephoto lenses!!

Check in was quick and easy, sign a waiver and hop on a bus to take you to the top. Once there you will find the tubes and go down the river which can take 1.5-2 hours. Make sure to grab a paddle which will come in handy with the bushes and trees on the side. It's cold once you get it but it's fun and relaxing on a nice hot day!
