Ghost Falls Trail

Sandy, Utah

5.0 miles S of Sandy, Utah

Ghost Falls is located in the corner canyon riding area of Draper, Utah and one of the first mountain bike routes in the canyon. It's a family-friendly hike, named for the trail's ability to disappear in winter seasons due to snow. The trail is mixed with a sandy rocky slope on the lower mountain and dirt higher up the mountain and the trail starts near trees along a dry creek bed, with views focused at Corner Canyon. After a few miles, the trail splits to the east along the old lower Corner Canyon road; this is where it can be confusing as there are several trails that split off the road. But, these diverging trails do continue to lead hikers east towards the upper canyon where the actual Ghost Falls trail north and south loops begin. 

Most hikers stay on the road and then go off to the south along the Canyon Hollow Trail; which will lead to the intersection of the north/south Ghost Falls loop trail. There are signs that point which direction to go and which trail to stay on, so make sure to pay attention to the signs if you get lost. You can take different routes in order for the journey to be easier or a more challenging but fun opportunity to enjoy.

Orson Smith trail

Draper, Utah

2.2 miles E of Draper, Utah

Orson Smith Trail is located north of the Corner Canyon Gate. It leads up to the suspension bridge and has become a popular spot for hiking and bike routes since the suspension bridge was completed at Bear Canyon in 2015. Orson Smith trail is a very short route stretching up to the (BST) Bonneville Shoreline Trail along Draper's east foothills. You can reach this area also from the north by the Hidden Valley trailhead or from the west by either the Potato Hill, Coyote Hollow or Red Rock trail heads. This area has a longer riding season; there are two options to get uphill, either use Corner Canyon Road or the Orson Smith trail. This trail is kid friendly until you reach a certain point, then it can be steep, it's a very smooth trail but climbing can be a struggle and this trail is steep the entire climb with some tight switch backs and a few sandy ones. The Orson Smith trail is meant for all skill levels, depending on your experience or for those who want to walk around, take the nature trips and go bird watching. You can walk your dog but it must be kept on a leash. Bring water and trail snacks.

Hidden Valley Park trail

Sandy, Utah

2.1 miles SE of Sandy, Utah

Hidden Valley Trail has different levels and gradual uphill fun and makes for a good adventure trail. It's a wide, shallow valley that is hidden from view; hence the name. The valley’s sandy floor is covered with grass and there are low cliffs on the north; while sandstone cliffs, covered by domes made of Navajo Sandstone, are in the southern rim of the valley. The trail gets hot during the summer, so make sure to have plenty of water and sunscreen. Within the trail, there are several loop options; all totaling one mile and Hidden Valley Park has a combination of landscaped and natural areas for scenery. 

The trail sits on the south side of Spanish Valley just a few miles south of Moab. The trail starts on the south end of the parking area. The trail rises up the valley and after approx 1.2 miles, the trail elevation lowers. You then hike another 0.8 mile and climb a short hill to a turnaround point in the hike. In the south and west, you’ll find great views of Hidden Valley to the east. The park opens from dawn until 10pm and dogs are allowed on the trail but they must be kept on a leash; please clean up after pets.
