Salamander flat trail

 American Fork Canyon:

This is a two mile trail (4 miles there and back) that starts at the Timpooneke trailhead, crosses the road at the one mile mark (Turnout #6 if you want to park and start there in either direction), then T’s at a junction with the Pine Hollow trail after another mile. There are marked turnoffs for the Snow Guaging trail and the Willow Hollow trail along the way if you want to try to loop it. The trail is mostly shady and level, with a spectacular view of the mountains near the two aforementioned turnoffs. 

Waterfall canyon (Ogden)

Best waterfall views in spring. Can be done in winter. Short but strenuous. Good evening/sunset hike.

dogs allowed (on leash)

bathrooms at trail head

parkinglot fills up fast on weekends

This hike is 2.9 miles up and back with 1,259 feet elevation gain

First half is full sun, Second half is full shade

This is what utah.com has to say "This short but strenuous hike includes a rugged scramble over steep, rocky terrain, yet it has long been one of Ogden’s most popular hikes thanks to the spectacular 200-foot waterfall at the upper end of the canyon. Please respect the private property on both sides of the trail and don’t be tempted to climb the cliffs around the waterfall. It’s illegal and several hikers have fallen to their deaths from the treacherous rocks."

The trail is marked in the beginning, just follow the shoreline trail. But there are a few break offs as you go up. Just stay on the mail trail, don't turn off. You'll head southeast until you reach the woods, then go straight east into the canyon.

It's a steady incline the entire way up. The first half mile is a wide clean trail (shoreline trail). Once you hit the canyon it gets a little steeper with lots of rocks. The last quarter mile has more loose gravel and lots of dirt on the rocks so it was a little slippery coming down, but going up was fine. And we came down in the dark with no problems at all.
