Look for the Rock Canyon Trailhead Park, not to be confused with Rock Canyon Park. The Trailhead Park is often confused with the Park at Rock Canyon where there is a large grassy hill called The Bowl. You want to go to the parking lot area that you see in the Aerial view.
This is one of the most haunted trails in Utah. Makes a great read. Comment back if you had any experiences. I’m curious.

It’s alright... some of the pictures of this trail are kinda misleading.... but it’s not a bad trail if you just want to hike for fun
awesome
Gentle trail; patches of ice/snow in the shade. Big horn sheep were present when my group passed through on the way to Provo Peak.

it was pretty chilly along the trail today. The middle third of the trail has patches of ice and snow but it is well compacted and mixed with the rocks so still easily traversed.

Trail was rocky & snow on the trail in many places, but a beautiful hike (even in the late fall!).

Pretty cold this time of year... 80%of the leaves are gone snow on 70% of the trail. Other than that ... enjoyable as always

great trail. beautiful fall colors!
Pretty steep and very rocky. There is shade 3/4 of the way. The last 1/4 mile was not shaded. There isn't a lot of variation in plants even though you gain quite a bit of elevation. It's definitely a great workout!
Lots of beautiful fall color along the way. We enjoyed the fountains and the clear and well maintained trail to the campground & back. Fun to see a few people scrambling the crags near the trail’s beginning, too.

This is a great, easy trail year round. The leaves are gorgeous right now, hiking up to the campground and back is the prefect length, and most of the trail is runnable.
