Several trails make for the perfect day-hike while others are more suitable for an overnight backpack adventure. Terrain varies from a steep climb up Mount Timpanogos to an easy stroll along the shores of Strawberry Reservoir. Mount Timpanogos and the High Uintas are designated wilderness areas. Remember weather in higher elevations can change suddenly and dramatically. Always be prepared with warm clothes, rain gear, plenty of water, high energy food, matches, and a first aid kit.
Insect repellent is always good to have along.
