*to avoid downtown parking, you can drive to the City Creek Nature Preserve entrance: go west on North Temple, left on B street/250 east, B street becomes East Bonneville Blvd, as it makes a hairpin turn go right on a narrow paved road leading into the preserve parking lot
*from the main entrance to the Preserve is 1.5 miles one way
*from the main entrance, road is paved for 5.8 miles, then dirt for the next 7.2 miles
*there is a reservoir 3 miles up from the main entrance
*there are lots of side trails you can follow
*there are picnic tables

*watch for cyclists; hikers should stay on the side nearest the creek
