About This Event
There’s actually a rock shaped like an elephant hiding at mile 3.5 and we’re bringing bold reds to celebrate finding it.
The trail is mostly shaded, the fall colors are just starting to show up, and the views of the Great Salt Lake from the overlook are unreal.
Late September on this trail is honestly so good. Come see for yourself! 🍷
