2014-04-20 Mill Creek Canyon Pipeline Hike

Hiking Photo Link
I went hiking with my church friends on Sunday (4/20) afternoon. The trailhead called Rattlesnake Gulch is 0.7 mile from the fee station at the Millcreek Canyon. The name sounds scary, but we didn't encounter any snakes on the trail this time of the year. But you will probably in summer months. The first 0.6 mile on the trail gains the most elevation (around 700 feet). Then you will be at the trail junction. Take the left (going west toward the valley) on the Pipeline trail. It is about a mile to the Salt Lake valley lookout. There were lots of wild flowers called arrowleaf balsamroot at the lookout. You get an awesome view of the valley (west).
