Confirmed from Providence Canyon 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.
What runners say about Providence Canyon Trailhead
“My heart is full because of this beautiful place.”
This trail is a perfect, quick getaway all year round. Pretty easy but not boring. The water and shade are great in the summer, the fall colors are magic, and it's a wonderland in the winter.
It's a nice and easy hike where you walk along a small creek under the cover of trees, most of the time.
Cool place. Pretty light trail as far as off-roading goes (we took a Jeep Compass up) until you get about half way up-ish. Then there's a big turn around (which we used) and a skinnier trail that's a good bit steeper for more serious custom rigs. For hiking and biking it's pretty nice up to that point as well.
Great place to take atv. We down loaded at the parking area then drove up to the water fall and took trails up to MT. logan. There were quite a few people up there riding shooting walking the trails but it was crowded. Usually you were just passing by and never seen them again.
