The Beehive State has thousands of hiking trails, and most people in Utah will find that they have several within just a few miles of their homes. The Potato Hill Trail is one such trail, and it's a fairly short hike that offers up some beautiful views.
The Potato Hill Trail is part of a large trail system in Corner Canyon, near Draper. You'll find the trailhead right off Traverse Ridge Road, where there's a parking lot with restrooms.
The trail is short, but can be combined with other nearby trails to make it a roughly three-mile-long adventure.
Most hikers combine Potato Hill Trail, Red Potato Trail, and the Bonneville Shoreline Trail to make a loop. The hike provides lots of great city views...
...and you'll even come across a bench so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy some fresh air.
As long as you're not in a rush to tackle the trails, you can hang out as long as you like!
While a small section of the loop takes you through a shady spot, much of the trail has full sun exposure, so make sure to bring sunscreen and plenty of water.
You'll also want to keep a lookout for mountain bikers. The trail system here is popular with riders, so plan on sharing.
In spring and summer months, you'll find a host of wildflowers that add a bright splash of color to the mountain.
Make sure to take some photos while you're high above the valley, and if you can time your hike to coincide with sunset, all the better!
