Description

Added by Jack Bradford

Quiet, serene, peaceful hike between towering mountains and beautiful pine trees.

The Rock Canyon trail is a heavily trafficked path that brings people of all ages. In the winter the mountains are covered in snow and the path is well packed down due to the volume of people that are hiking. After about a mile of hiking, you will enter the more dense part of the canyon with lots of vegetation. The river was mostly covered in snow, but some parts were still flowing.

The Rock Canyon trail eventually splits into trails toward the Squaw Peak or towards a service road and the Big Springs trail adventure here. As you trek farther into the canyon, the packed snow gets smaller as less people make it too far. Families are always together on the trail because it is so close to the city. However the trail is a steady, moderate incline the whole way.

Hike Squaw Peak

Squaw Peak Trail is a great hike if you live in Provo, since it is a quick getaway. But still definitely worth the trip if you don't. This 7.1 mile hike has beautiful views and does not long to do Usually it takes about three hours from start (Rock Canyon) to finish (the Peak) at a decent clip. There is definitely an incline, but it isn't too prolonged. If you are confused when the start to th...

Hike to Buckley's Abandoned Mine

Once you reach the mine it's gated but you can slide in. Follow the main tunnel a hundred or so feet back and climb the 75 foot ladder up to the second level. You can then make your way back out to the cliff face where there is another gate to the outside. That gate is a little trickier to squeeze through but it's a great spot for a campfire on the other side. Bring some wood and mallows to toa...

Rock Climb in Rock Canyon

Rock Canyon, unsurprisingly, has a ton of great, local rock climbing routes for those in the Provo area. The marked location is for the parking lot. Once you're parked, head into the canyon. You will start to see bolts and anchors—and, depending on when you go, climbers—a few minutes in. There are 451 climbs (!!!) in Rock Canyon, including trad, top rope, and bouldering, with the majority bein...

The Y Trail

Hiking the Y is a classic hike in Provo, Utah—but don't expect it to be easy! There's no shade and not much greenery, so it's a hot, dusty trek to the top. Once you reach the Y, though, the view of the Provo and Utah Lake is amazing. There are also benches at the top. When you reach the Y, you will first come to a point about halfway up the Y. You can stop here or keep going up the fork in the...

Buffalo Peak Trail

Hike to Summit of Buffalo Peak

Drive up Provo Canyon and turn right on Squaw Peak Road. Follow the road til you reach the T in the road and head left on Road 027. Follow it 2.9 miles to the unmarked trail head. It is located next to a wooden fence on the right of the road and next to a sign about fire and wildlife safety. Park the car just on the side of the road. The hike is .5 miles to the summit and .5 back. The tra...
