Starting in Perry the Perry Canyon trail has recently been punched all the way to Grizzly Peak and beyond. At 1.4 miles up you can decide to either climb the 4,000 feet to Grizzly Peak or head to White Rock for a more leisurely 2,000 foot climb. The trail to White Rock heads under the tree.
38848
It is 4.8 miles to White Rock from the parking lot. Expect short steep climbs, flowing water, some shade, some heat in the afternoon on this west facing trail, views of Willard Bay, and many switchbacks. Stan who is primarily responsible for this trail loves switchbacks. Most of the switchbacks on the big trail to Grizzly peak are numbered on nearby trees or rocks. There are close to 50 switchbacks on the way to White Rock (and more than 100 to Grizzly Peak). Stan fixing a couple of switchbacks to be more ridable:
38849
These pictures are from early November, 2010 when the weather was just right, the trail was just damp, and the leaves were just wonderful.
38850
38851
38852
White Rock (it's much bigger than it looks):
38853
The Hogback, hard to see from highway 89 but pretty impressive from the trail.
38854
The trail on the way back down.
38855
38852
The trail extends a little ways beyond White Rock and may eventually be brought back down to form a loop or head south to Weber County. Stay tuned.
