Geocache Description:

Shows you a trail which will let you hike from City Creek Canyon in Salt Lake over to Mueller Park or North Canyon in Bountiful. Pretty neat!


Source: Google Maps http://g.co/maps/pbw3j

Many are familiar with Mueller Park in Bountiful, and found it fun to visit.  Many are familiar with City Creek Canyon just east of the Utah Capitol Building in Salt Lake City, and also enjoyed going there.  Some out there have even hiked from Mueller Park to North Canyon.  But how many are aware that you can hike from City Creek Canyon to Mueller Park or North Canyon?  There is a hiking trail.  Now that's a more original hike, which many aren't even aware of.

HIKING THE TRAIL: You don't need to hike this trail to find the cache, but rather just find the trail head in City Creek Canyon. If you are interested in more than just finding this cache but actually hiking, I shared a GPS track at (City Creek Canyon to Rudy's Flat) which will take you from this trail head to a ridge where there is a trail connecting Mueller Park to North Canyon.  From this ridge, a GPS track by Backpacker (Mueller Park to North Canyon) will show you how to hike to your choice of either Mueller Park or North Canyon.

FINDING THE GEOCACHE:  It's a small scuba tank container. Once you get to the coordinates, you'll see a tree log laying across the trail.  It's hanging about 7 feet up in a tree on the southwest end of this fallen log.

GETTING TO THE TRAIL HEAD: Drive north from "B" Street and 11th Avenue to the City Creek Canyon gate entrance (Canyon Road). Five miles past the gate is Rotary Park. Just before that, there's a big wooden sign on the left. Just east of that sign and the side stream which comes down, is the trail.  From Memorial Day to the end of September, cars are allowed in the canyon on even days, bikes on odd days.  Bikes are also allowed the rest of the year, although you'll have to lock your bike up by where this trail starts since they're not allowed on the trail.  The gate hours for City Creek Canyon are at City Creek Canyon
