How can we access Heughs Canyon Trail? I drove up there the other day looking for the trailhead and everything was blocked off by houses.

Thanks,

I haven't been in while.... but....

The designated trailhead is at Wasatch Blvd and Canyon Cove Drive. To reach the trailhead, take exit 5 /4500 South off of I-215 on the east side of the Salt Lake Valley. Go east, toward the mountains, then south on Wasatch Blvd. Follow Wasatch Blvd about 2.7 miles to Canyon Cove Drive. The official trailhead parking area is signed here, just south of Canyon Cove Drive on Wasatch Blvd.

From the trailhead, walk up Canyon Cove Drive, taking the second left onto Oak Canyon Drive. Once on Oak Canyon Drive, take the next right onto Canyon Winds Lane, a private lane that has public access.

At the top of Canyon Winds Lane, the road seemingly ends in a cul-de-sac. Continue on what appears to be a driveway, but is a public easement onto the dirt trail that begins Heughs Canyon Trail.

Or you can begin at the Mt Olympus TH and use BST. Follow BST south to a Junction with Heughs Canyon Trail.
