Emigration Canyon, Utah
|
Killyon Canyon is a moderate hike, leading through creekside trees and across a couple wooden bridges. You will find the trailhead at the end of a canyon road that breaks off Emigration Canyon Road. There is no designated parking within a quarter mile of the trailhead, the closest open space is a designated fire lane with tow enforcement. Park at your own risk. The Killyon Canyon trail starts at a fork on the main trail. When you get to a sign saying several hikes are to the right, you will want to take the left route because this trail is not marked by any sign.

Recap
|
Killyon Canyon was an interesting trail to visit. With the trail following a stream nearly the entire way it was very peaceful. Further into the trail there are multiple fallen trees on the path, hurdling these was not challenging. With how evenly graded this trail is, I would imaging it is very good for trail running.

There was almost no trash on this trail, the hikers who frequent this destination must take good care of it. This was a pleasant surprise that allowed us to focus on enjoying the hike. We hope you too enjoy visiting this peaceful trail.
