Trib Trails: Big Cottonwood Canyon hike big on adventure, but also pretty, cool in the heat

Mule Hollow Mine Trail has surprises in store: It’s shady, uncrowded and close to Salt Lake City.

(Julie Jag | The Salt Lake Tribune) Miners cut this notch, seen on July 7, 2022, into a cliffside along the Mule Hollow Mine trail. The 3-mile round-trip trail climbs through a shady creek bed in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Several mines can also be found at the top, if you know where to look.
