Off-Road through Snake Creek Canyon
Rent a UTV and climb the rugged trails to the ridge line for staggering vistas that stretch all the way to the Salt Lake Valley.
Itinerary tips
- 1Pick up your UTV rental in Midway or Wasatch Mountain State Park to minimize transit time on paved roads.
- 2Allocate at least 3 to 4 hours for the round trip to the 10,000-foot ridge line and back to ensure time for photography.
- 3Pack a heavy windbreaker and eye protection, as temperatures drop significantly and dust increases at higher elevations.
- 4Download offline maps via OnX Offroad or Avenza before departing, as cell service becomes nonexistent once you enter the canyon.
- 5Ensure your rental includes a required Utah OHV permit and a Wasatch Mountain State Park day-use pass for the trailhead parking lot.
- 6Aim for the '10,420 Peak' lookout point for a 360-degree view that captures both the Heber and Salt Lake valleys simultaneously.
