Hike Details:

• The hike is a moderate 1.5-mile out-and-back trail that leads to the reservoir.
• During the hike, we will learn why trees drop their leaves, enjoy the beautiful colors, observe seeds, and explore the reservoir before returning to the parking lot.
• It’s common to spot moose in this area.
• For those interested, continuing to Bell Canyon Falls is a more challenging option. This additional hike is short but demanding, and it’s also incredibly scenic and worth the effort.

Meeting Point:

• We will meet at the Bell Canyon Preservation Trailhead, a large parking lot situated on top of the hill between two small roadside trailheads for Bell Canyon Reservoir.
• Here are the GPS Coordinates: 40.571529, -111.798139
