This trailhead was very unexpected, but quite nice. I've not hiked a lot up this part of the…read morecanyon--my teenage years were spent in the canyon, but we always took the fork to Tibble and rarely did I go up and over the Alpine Loop, or even anywhere along UT 92. Once you pass that aforementioned fork to Tibble, the road does narrow a bit. I drove the loop last fall and it was tense--bumper to bumper cars trying to take in a weekend drive of the foliage and not very enjoyable when the road is really only wide enough for one direction of traffic. The good news is that this trailhead isn't far past the fork at all, so we made on large hairpin, one tight one, and boom, it's there on your right (if you're coming up from the Lehi/Alpine side). It's a generously-sized parking lot, has restrooms, signage, and is a great starting off point. We took the Pine Hollow Trail #47, which is the namesake, obvs. We crossed the road, went up, and took the loop clockwise that goes up to some killer views of the back side of Timp, and then comes back down to Salamander Flat near the road, before cutting back up into the forest, meeting up with Trail #47 again, and retracing the steps back to the trailhead. You can, however, launch off from here, and go all the way up to Mud Flat and pop down at Tibble, if you're after a longer hike and have a shuttle set up. The hikes here are lovely, probably even moreso in Autumn. The very very earliest of leaves were already starting to fade a bit, so get out and make hay while the summer sun shines. Not a massively popular trailhead, but due to its size and convenience, you'll see plenty of folks doing just that. Keep an eye out for bikes and motorcycles on the trail; we saw both.

The trailhead starts in the Timpooneke campground parking lot in American Fork Canyon. The cost is…read more$6 per car. You can pay at the parking lot- there are self-pay envelopes. If you don't have cash, like us, we stopped at the little guard shack at the mouth of AF canyon on our way out and paid. We hiked to the summit August 1 2018. Weather was perfect. We started the trailhead at 5AM and made the summit around 8:30. We hiked quite quickly and large groups or inexperienced hikers would definitely take longer. Average is around 4 1/2 hours to reach the summit. We took 3 liters of water each and it was more than enough. If it had been warmer we may have needed more- but we were back to our car by noon. The hike down took about 2 1/2 hours. We had read that it normally takes a little longer. We also took snacks- which were needed! Snickers bars and peanut m&ms were perfect. The hike wasn't technically difficult so much as just long. It definitely takes endurance. It's not for the faint of heart. I'd recommend being in good physical shape- 7.2 miles each way. The views were breathtaking. Only the last mile from the saddle to the tippy top had some scary heights. If you're afraid of heights, the last mile will be a little nerve wracking. However, it wasn't incredibly dangerous. I'm not a risk taker and I felt pretty safe. It got a little hot on the way down. I wouldn't recommend starting much later than 5am because it can start to get pretty hot as the day goes on and you'll be tired . And the top of the summit can be quite cold in the morning. I had a sweatshirt with me and was grateful for it!

The total distance covered was just under three miles in a little more than two hours. The downward hike was moderately challenging, with some narrow trails and loose footing. It is a trail that would be much more challenging during melt-off season or in a rainy period. Wear thick socks and good hiking boots. Otherwise, dress for the weather!

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

Crows nest via huber grove via epperson is the hike we attempted to go on. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/utah/crows-nest-via-huber-grove-to-epperson Its a 5.1 mile loop trail that starts at the parking lot next to the visitor center. It is rated moderate. so there are so many off shoots on this trail. We followed teh all trails map and it led us astray. We eventually found the finale crows nest loop but my teens were done at that point and we just headed back. The loop in all trails map also is longer than what is listed. There are not a lot of signs that say crows nest. We did find our way out easily enough. Trail is dry. Pretty area once you get up into the trees. It is nice that wasatch is not too far out of town so very accessible.
