Millcreek Canyon Pipeline

tiremark.gif (4100 bytes)

Mill Creek Canyon Pipeline is a relatively easy singletrack. For the most part it is down hill all the way from the trailhead, unless you didn't bring a shuttle vehicle!! There are a couple of tough spots. The trail narrows in a spot or two and those who don't like heights might get off and walk once or twice. This trail is heavily used by hikers/runners so please be careful and yield the right of way.  If you travel to the end of trail you will get a great view of the Wasatch Front and the Salt Lake Valley.

How to get there: From I-215 take Exit 3 (3900 South). Turn north on Wasatch Boulevard to 3800 South. Turn east at the Mill Creek Canyon sign. The trailhead is 5 miles up the canyon at Elbows Fork.

Mill Creek Canyon is a FEE area. Be prepared to pay $ 2.25 per car ( in 1998). This is collected when leaving the canyon. Before you bitch about having to pay...try the trails first!  They have done an incredible job with your money. This ride is worth a whole lot more then $ 2.25 !!

** The odd/even calendar days do not apply to the pipeline trail, it is open everyday **
