Murray's Hill, Wellsville, Utah

The name of this trail used to be "Rattlesnake".  So glad they changed it.   What we saw was some gorgeous wilderness and some beautiful vistas of Cache Valley.  I have never seen so many ferns on one trail.  Are we in a lush tropical rain forest? 

 Access this one from Highway 89/91 out of Brigham City, past Mantua up Sardine Canyon.  The trailhead is on the north side of the highway.  Not much parking, but enough for a few trailer rigs.  There is a barricade along the middle of the road, so if you are coming from Brigham City, you must drive on into Wellsville to turn around.

    The parking is incorrect on this map as far as starting in Wellsville. That lot is privately owned by the home owner and he only wants people parking on the side of the road down lower than the gravel pad. Hes has several signs posted and if people keep parking on the gravel area he will shut off access to state land and everyone will have to start in Sardine canyon. Please update and spread awareness.
