Yellow Fork Canyon Hike/Walk

Simple walk up Yellow Fork Canyon.

Walk up curvy, shaded forest dirt trail along a trickle of a creek and then down a wide dirt road. Not appropriate for strollers. Dogs on leash are welcome but it is easier to socialize without a dog. Horses and mountain bikers are common along the trails.

The more adventurous can extend their hike on numerous trails.

They have recently improved the trails to accommodate erosion and added soft dirt to the trails.
