What travelers are saying
- Emily JSalt Lake City, Utah, United States1 contributionI went in the summer with my wife and we had a great time. we hiked we had a picinic and in general just enjoyed the time together. they have different trails for the bikers and the hikers and while I spent my time hiking the bike trails looked like a blast. you can pay for a lift ticket to get you the top or you can hike up for no cost. I highly recommend this trip and as a bonus you can stay in the Dear Valley Resort hotels in the summer for a few hundred bucks,we had a hot tub overlooking the valley on our patio. Awsome!!!Written April 20, 2012This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- for2uneStansbury Park, UT1,144 contributionsOne of the best trails in the Wasatch mountains, easy access from Salt Lake City areas and a popular favorite canyon for outdoor activity. There is a $3 entry fee to Millcreek canyon. on a hot day in the valleys it will be 10-20 degrees cooler on this trail. Drive to the top of Millcreek canyon. For bikes, the best start is the trail head the next to last parking area - the old trail head at the top parking area is a steep hard 1/2 mile start - much better to us the easier, slightly longer, new trail start from the lower parking area. The trail is very well maintained and goes through beautiful alpine pine forests. All uphill for over 3 miles gives a good work out. For the downhill ride back it is an amazing treat. On a bike, the last 2 to 3 tenths mile the trail splits to make a final loop to Dog Lake. Take the left 3 tenths trail for an easier finish if you are tired or go right on the 2 tenths if you want an extra hard finish - steeper than the rest of the trail.
Don't miss this trail for a fantastic Utah mountains outdoor experience.
Bikes are only allowed on odd numbered calendar days. Weekends and holidays the parking lots fill up early. A weekday, or maybe later afternoon, is best to find parking and less crowded conditions.Written August 12, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

IF you're going over, into, and down Millcreek Canyon you can ONLY do that on even numbered calendar days by law. If you are doing that, you will need a shuttle to retrieve your car from the starting point. You can catch a bus up to Brighton Ski resort with your bike though. Do not attempt if snow on mtns. Take LOTS of water/electrolytes and food/carbs as well as have your own ability to fix flats and have spare tubes. Overall distance to bottom of Millcreek probably 40 miles. Great single track. It starts on a dirt road for about half mile or so and you go up "puke hill." Single track starts early and once at the left turn down into Millcreek, it's miles of single track downhill. Probably best to check with other riders and/or LBS (local bike shop) for information. Not for beginning mtn. bikers. Better to go with someone in case of emergency or mechanical. Not accessible by car and you're riding essentially along the spine of the Wasatch between SLC and Park City. You'll be wiped.Written April 13, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
