I fell behind logging some of our hiking adventures.  In retrospect now though Wheeler Creek is probably my favorite trail so far.  It is just outside Huntsville, UT and runs 11 miles.  We didn't see all 11 miles, mind you, but probably got a third of the trail explored.

The nice thing about this hike is that the trail – at least from the trailhead up about 3miles – is so wide. Though it is a steady incline it is also regular walking the whole way, not too much actual climbing. After the last few hikes which entailed a fair amount of actual climbing and hoisting and well, sucking air for some of us, this one is remembered fondly. 

The trail wound up the canyon with views of the mountains all around and the stream running alongside.  There were mountain bikers and the occasional fellow hikers but by and large it was much lower traffic than many of the other trails we have hit. Making a note to self to return especially as the trees turn in the fall.
