Utah Hike of the Week: Clark's Trail in Corner Canyon

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2015, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.

Directions • The trailhead is located southeast of the Mormon temple in Draper. Once you're in the neighborhood, signs along the streets will point you toward the trailhead, which is at the dead end of Coyote Hollow Court.

Hike • Clark's Trail begins just past the Coyote Hollow trailhead, with a wooden sign directing you to the right and uphill. Your first intersection comes up quick; follow the Clark's Trail sign and cross a small, wooden bridge.

The path quickly turns you westward, and you'll catch a glimpse of the LDS temple.

For much of this middle section of the hike, you'll be exposed to the sun as you hike deeper into Corner Canyon.

Mind that you'll likely be sharing the trail with a lot of cyclists, too.

You'll find shade again as you near the last leg of Clark's Trail, which winds up the side of the canyon to Ann's Trail. Just before then, you'll get a nice view of the canyon and the southern end of the Salt Lake Valley.

Once you reach the intersection with Ann's Trail, turn around and leave the way you came in.
