Lamb's Canyon 9/16

Went for a little hike today up Lamb's Canyon. This is the only Forest Service hiking trail on the Parley's Canyon side of Millcreek Ridge. It's not a super strenuous hike, but a nice little workout with worthwhile views from the top.


(Fallen Aspen.)

Take the Lamb's Canyon exit off I-80 and head south about 1.5 miles up Lamb's Canyon road. There's some parking just across from the trailhead with an outhouse. The trail is easy to follow and gets more scenic the higher you get.


(Signs at the top.)

The hike is about 1.75 miles from the trailhead up to the saddle. Approximately 1540 vertical feet. From the saddle, a faint trail heads south up to a nearby peak. Supposedly there's also a trail to the north to Mount Aire but it just looked like a bunch of intertwined animal tracks to me. I headed south for a bit to get a nice view into upper Millcreek canyon before heading back.

Up and back took me about two hours. It was a good bit of exercise and some nice views. Check it out if you ever get the chance.


(The return.)

'til later,

Thanks for the info Jeff on Lambs Canyon trail.
One question:
Can you take horses on the trail?

This is a great hike - the elevation gain is pretty even the entire route. I looks like the trail has been re-routed as my gps put the distance at 2.3 miles. There is a pretty well defined trail heading off to the left heading up to Millvu peak. I went 3/4 of the way up to an overlook from a virtual cliff, across Mill Creek to th Alexander Basis. as of 6/27 there is a water running down the trail in a couple places - so do not wear your sneakers.
