Ephraim Canyon--Keebler

This is the seventh post on Ephraim Canyon Trails. The Keebler Trail is newly cut this year. Please view the other posts before venturing there. Here is a good website with great photos:  thank you Utah Mountain biking. We parked at the Willow Creek Road trailhead and rode part of the Templar Trail, then .2 mile on the main road to the Mirkwood Trail.  About .2 mile in, there is a signpost marking the Keebler trail.  More photos coming on future rides.

Goes between the Lake Hill Campground road and the Mirkwood Trail.  .7 miles one way.  95% soft dirt, 5% slightly gravel.  Deep Forest Factor=excellent

 

Photos don't do the forest justice.  Gorgeous deep forest.  There won't be much fall color here.  For that, ride the lower trails.

The trail is designed for bikes, but horses are allowed.  Be considerate and don't ride if it's muddy.

This is looking down off the steep drop off, but you certainly can't tell.

Nice view looking north.  Mount Nebo and Timpanogus are visible.

Yep, this is a great ride.
