Wild Rose Loop

Located in the foothills of North Salt Lake, the Wild Rose Loop is a scenic 2-mile trail that offers excellent views of the Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island. The route’s highlight is the overlook named Sunset Point, which you’ll see after hiking 1 mile. There is moderate elevation gain, but the grade is always pretty gentle, and there are several benches along the way, making this a great trail for the whole family. But watch out for the mountain bikes that share the trail.

Getting there

Turn right onto Eaglepointe Drive, followed by a left onto Sky Crest Lane. The trailhead is located next to a parking lot at the end of Sky Crest Lane. There’s a restroom, a pavilion, and a playground at the trailhead.
