Utah Outdoors

This out-and-back trek is on a forested trail ascending Lambs Canyon to an overlook into Millcreek Canyon, and in the distance, the Salt Lake Valley. Plan on a two-mile hike each way (4-miles RT) with a climb of about 1500 feet. In the past this has been around a one-hour fifteen-minute trek each way, but sometimes a little more depending upon the group. Our plan is to rendezvous at the high point overlooking Millcreek Canyon, and then return to the trailhead. If we’re lucky we’ll catch autumn colors at their peak. Meet Elliott in Parleys Canyon at the Lambs Canyon Exit (#137), at 9:00AM. Trailhead parking is tiny so we will carpool to the trailhead from the I-80 Exit. No dogs.

Trailhead Information: Drive I-80 up Parleys Canyon and take exit #137 for Lambs Canyon. From this exit location, we will carpool to the TH in Lambs Canyon. There are restrooms at the trailhead.

This event is designed to bring people together, fostering deeper connections and building a stronger sense of community. Our goal is to create an environment where lasting friendships can flourish and participants feel a true sense of belonging.

While we welcome newcomers and understand that some may only be able to join us for a single event, we hope that many of you will choose to become regular participants in the Utah Outdoors Community events. Being a consistent part of our group allows for more meaningful interactions and helps us cultivate a tight-knit network of like-minded individuals who share a love for outdoor activities and camaraderie.

Additionally, these events serve as a way for us to get to know one another on a more personal level. Through these connections, we aim to identify individuals we feel comfortable inviting to our other Meetup group, The Utah Outdoors Community. This group is intended to provide a safe and private space to host events that might not be suitable for larger, more public gatherings—such as movie nights, game nights, or dinners at private homes. These intimate gatherings are intended to strengthen the bonds within our community and create opportunities for even closer friendships.

By attending and engaging with our events, you are contributing to something special—a vibrant, supportive community where everyone feels welcomed and valued. We’re excited to get to know you better and look forward to sharing memorable experiences together.
