The Tri-Canyon Trails Plan is the comprehensive trail plan for Little Cottonwood, Big Cottonwood, and Millcreek Canyons! Salt Lake County and the Forest Service are partnering to identify opportunities to protect watershed and ecosystem health while providing diverse recreation opportunities.
Our current trail network no longer meets the needs or desires of today’s visitors! A few short trails see a large concentration of use, while unsustainable user-created trails (not intentionally designed nor maintained by the USFS) experience repetitive use causing resource degradation. Developing a robust and sustainable trail plan to protect our watershed and offer diverse recreation options hinges on good public engagement. Tell us about your favorite trails, possible trail connections or family-friendly loops, and needed infrastructure improvements.
