Stroll Through Soldier Hollow Village
CultureEasySpringSummerYear-roundWinter
Explore the site of the 2002 Winter Olympic cross-country events, which now hosts world-class sheepdog trials and mountain biking.
Itinerary tips
- 1Plan for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours to walk the paved Olympic trails and visit the competition stadium.
- 2Pack a light jacket and sunscreen, as the open valley floor offers very little shade and experiences frequent mountain breezes.
- 3Park in the main paved lot near the Day Lodge; there are no permits required for general walking access.
- 4Bring a camera to capture the panoramic views of Mount Timpanogos that frame the competition courses.
- 5Visit the lodge gift shop to see Olympic memorabilia and pick up a map of the expansive trail system.
- 6Check the event calendar beforehand, as the sheepdog trials in late summer can limit access to certain walking paths.
