Confirmed from Potato Hill Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Hilly destination for mountain biking and hiking, as well as an outpost for fireworks viewing.
What runners say about Potato Hill Trailhead
“If you don’t want, you would still get a great view in 25 steps(attached pic)!”
Best place to watch sunset in the entire Utah! It never disappoints! You can choose to walk 5mins to one point, or 10mins to the top, both allow you to see the entire valley! Strongly recommend you bring a picnic chair or a picnic mat to just chill and see the entire sun set till dusk!
I've biked most every trail in Utah Valley and corner canyon has by far been my best experience. The trails are clean and often nestled in the trees which makes even climbing the mountain a pleasant experience.
Perfect spot to watch sunset. For someone who wants to hike, you can have a decent one. If you don’t want, you would still get a great view in 25 steps(attached pic)! It was a very windy day but the view was too good! Did not stay longer as we had a lil one with us.
This is a great spot that leads to many different trials. Amazing place to watch the sunset at the top of the hill that just takes a couple minutes to climb up. Fantastic views of the valley!!!
Trail conditions & character
“This spot is a real treat and a fun little hike that overlooks the Draper Temple and the valley.”
“And Rush, the main down hill trail, is exquisite with a bunny hop like every 30' and a few larger jumps as well.”
