dams Canyon Adams Canyon Trail in Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest is a scenic trail along North Fork Holmes Creek with an assortment of terrain and great views, ending at the spectacular 40-foot Adams Waterfall. It is a 3.8 miles out and back trail near Kaysville. It is considered a moderately challenging trail and takes an average of 2.5 hours to complete. Dogs are allowed on the trail, but it is very popular and so you might want to keep them on a leash. The first half mile of the trail consists of steep switchbacks and then plateaus at Bonneville Shoreline Trail. In the fall, gorgeous leaves of orange and red of gambel oaks greet you as you enter the canyon. Large yellow cottonwoods reign above you as you climb higher. The last part of the trail to the waterfall is challenging but worth the climb. Farmington Canyon-The Grotto in Hornet Canyon This trail is three miles long and takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours to complete. Dogs are allowed on the trail and can be off leash in some areas. Yellow and orange leaves of scrub oak greet you at the mouth of the canyon. There are also some splashes of bright red hawthorn leaves. There are a few bright yellow aspens along the way. The Grotto is a beautiful display of water with a weeping wall, two waterfalls, and a semi-deep pool. Continued page 8
