As far as the waterfall goes, it's on the small side, but it is a nice little hike at Corner Canyon in Draper.

Wow! Can't believe I've lived in Utah my entire life and never tried this easy, but beautiful hike!…read moreThanks to ChatGPT for recommending this hike me. Searched up easy, short winter hikes for solo hikers and this popped up, super glad it did! This hike is an absolute must try if you live in Utah county. It is just 1.3 miles round-trip and only took about 15 minutes to get up to the frozen waterfall. The waterfall was absolutely beautiful, all of the ice crystals and trees were stunning. It is pretty slippery this time of year so I would bring hiking poles or hiking boots that have good traction so that you can get down to the waterfall. I unfortunately wore the wrong shoes so I couldn't go all the way down. Would've broke my assWill definitely be doing this again, it's nice that it's so close and such a short easy hike for the winter time!

On Monday, April 7, 2025 (Yesterday), I decided to take advantage of the warmer weather and hike at…read moreBattle Creek Falls. Parking lot: Free Size: Small Bathroom: Yes Men and women Toilet: Regular; water-based. From the parking lot to the waterfall, took 15 minutes, give or take. The trail is slightly incline, some parts more, than others and since I haven't worked out in the past few months, I was slightly out of breath, but nothing extreme before the waterfall. Moreover, there is also a path down to the waterfall, with a log to sit on, and taken in the beautiful waterfall. If one decides to go further up, the path does continue on top of the waterfall, right hand side. This trail is easy and no way of getting lost to the water fall. In additon, If you're looking for more beyond the waterfall, there is a much smaller one shortly ahead, but after that, there is not much to see. A lot of snow and mud, and dry plants. And after the second smaller waterfall, the trail does get challenging because it's all uphill. Unfortunately, I did not make it to the meadows. I came across two hikers who said they did go to meadows and it was ugly right now. I wanted to see for myself and on the way there, the path itself was very ugly, muddy and dry. Henced, I turned back. Overall, family friendly, easy hike, and make sure to bring a hat because a lot of the trail after the waterfall is direct sunlight, no shade.

It's a fantastic little area that's a perfect backdrop for family photos, or just nature photos in general. The walk from the trailhead to the poppies is about a half mile, mostly flat terrain. Some kind folks have marked the path with red flags, making it easy to find the poppies. Without those flags, it would be tricky-so my gratitude goes our to these trail angels. Thank you! Once you get to the field, it's well marked and has some small rope barriers that keep you on the path and to protect the vegetation. There are a few seating areas and wide spaces were you could meander through the flowers, take some photos or just enjoy the serene nature. There are also signs in some areas just outside the poppies that identify rattlesnake habitats. I didn't see any nope ropes when I was there, but I stayed clear of areas that the signs pointed out. I'd recommend going early in the morning to avoid the crowds. Plus, watching the sun rise over the mountains is magnificent. I'm glad to have discovered this little park early enough in the season to catch a glimpse of the poppies. I hope you can too!

It's a short trail but it is perfect if you just want a quick hike. This year there are a lot of snake sightings, and a sign is actually posted at the front of the trail , but we didn't see any. With only a 308 elevation gain super easy for little kids. Shared with bikes along the way with separate downhill trails just for bikes. Which makes it nice.

Utah has an abundance of beautiful trails that wind in and around nature and if you've not taken…read moreadvantage of them, you're missing out. That was the thought that went through my mind this morning when I decided to hit the trail and appreciate nature. The Peak View Trailhead is in Corner Canyon and leads to multiple paths. It's easy to discover new trails or paths each time you visit. There's a parking lot and restrooms at the trail head and signage that points to various paths that you can take. I also noticed that there's an app you can download that will tell you about the different trails and give you a map so you can pick the path that appeals to you. It's sort of a "choose your own adventure" sort of thing. The paths that I found myself on today were Hyde N Seek, Hoof N Boot, and Canyon Hollow Trail. Each one was beautiful and the fall colors were magnificent. There are many more paths for me to discover-I hope you will too.

This is a multi-use, double wide, moderate rated trail…read more A mountain bikers dream trail. So many bikers today. Parking lot was mostly bikers, and a few of us hikers. This is a pretty dirt trail. It's shady the first part of the trail, until you get higher in elevation then you won't be covered in shade. Trail is rocky, dusty, and dry right now. We need some rain. There are signs that say if the trail is muddy stay off, but you can clearly see the ruts in the trail that the bikes have made riding in the mud. There is a huge paved parking lot with a few picnic tables with covering. They even have a water faucet which I definitely used. Access to many other trails in the area. Some are for hiking only, if you don't want to keep stopping for bikers, even though the rules are stated that bikers need to yield to hikers stay on the footpaths only. Dogs are allowed below the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, but not above. This trail crosses both areas. Please follow this rule as this is our watershed. A big sized deer ran right in front of me pretty early on the trail. Lots of wild life. I also saw lots of birds, (cool hawks), lots of lizards, squirrels, and even a skunk. There is a sign at the trail head that reminds you that you are in cougar country. I didn't see any. Probably because of all the bikers. I also didn't see any snakes. Thank God. There seems to be a lot this year, or maybe there have always been, but people are just posting pictures of their snake encounters more because of social media. I thought for sure I would see one especially up by lone rock. Just because it's so rocky. All in all a pretty good hike 5.7 miles in 3.01 hrs with an elevation gain of 1,138 feet. I'm slow what can I say. *clean bathrooms available **large parking lot #leavenotrace
