Hike and Mountain Bike
Parrish Canyon Trail goes long the Wasatch Mountains; from the top of the mountain, this trail has beautiful views of Salt Lake City from a distance and interconnects with the Barnard Creek. It's located in Centerville, Utah and throughout the hike, visitors are able to gain elevation until they reach the top. There are several trails that differ in difficulty for both mountain bikers and hikers to see the majestic Parrish Canyon.Located right off of Parrish lane in Centerville, Utah it is both easy to get to and find.
There's plenty of wildlife to see and a bridge to hike to if you have little ones that won't want to hike far. In the winter time, it's more beautiful but a little challenging due to the high elevation and possible wind conditions but worth it if you want great pictures. You have the option of turning back around or go further into the trail and see more scenery from the top of the mountain. There are pictographs on rocks that's visible during the spring/summer time but not so much in the winter due to snow.
More Information
