Right Fork Maple Canyon Trail #007

The trail begins at the far end of the campground and picnic area.  About a quarter mile past the gate a side road crosses the stream to the south.  This is the trail you want.  Some sections of the trail are very steep.  Much of the trails length is shaded by beautiful Box Elder, Douglas Fir, and Aspen.  It becomes more open at the upper elevations, until it crosses beautiful wild meadows near Maple Canyon Lake, with small groves of Apsen and Subalpine Fir surrounded by the steep canyon walls of Spanish Fork Peak.  The trail continues around the lake and switches back up to the ridgeline where panoramic views to the north and west of Utah Valley can be seen, as well as east beyond Strawberry Ridge.  The trail swings on around the mountain on the Utah Valley side, reaching Spanish Fork Peak and connecting with Sterling Hollow Trail.  Choose careful footing, as there are numerous loose rocks.
