Experienced hikers will enjoy exploring miles of trails in Snake Creek Canyon, through scenic forests and lush vegetation, overlooking Heber Valley. A few high elevation trails continue to the ridge, crossing onto the Uinta National Forest and accessing the Great Western Trail. The best way to experience Snake Creek Canyon is to spend a day exploring. Most trails are unmarked and may require some route-finding, but the scenery is well worth it. Although these trails are unmaintained, heavy use by hikers, horseback riders, and mountain bikers make many of them easy to follow. Trailhead access along Snake Creek road may be limited; check in at the WMSP Visitor Center for more details. To reach Snake Creek Canyon, turn left at the park visitor center and follow the road past the golf course into the canyon.

This 22,000-acre state park nestled in the Wasatch Mountains is loaded with miles of trails waiting to be explored. These trails climb high into the mountains offering some spectacular views of Heber Valley and the Wasatch Mountains. Several trails climb to the ridge overlooking American Fork Canyon and accessing the Great Western Trail. For detailed information, maps, and other area recreation information stop in at the Wasatch Mountain State Park Visitor Center at the entrance to the park, just off Homestead Drive in Midway (435-654-1791).
