Hemlock Meadows

Hikers can expect a scenic journey that begins near a quiet pond and quickly transitions into a vibrant, sprawling meadow nestled within a red rock canyon. The path is primarily packed sand and dirt, making it a manageable walk for families or those looking for a quick nature escape. As you move northeast, you’ll stay high on the left hillside to avoid the washes below before reaching the back of the canyon where the trail forks. The highlight of the trip is the wide-open meadow that fills two-thirds of the canyon floor, offering a striking green contrast against the rugged Utah landscape.
