Y TRAILHEAD

(4.8 Score)
Slide Canyon Trail 062,
Provo, UT 84604 Directions

Since 1906

Specialty:

✓Hiking ✓Walking ✓Running ✓Jogging and Natural Trail

"Y Trailhead features an elevation gain of 1,074 feet (327 m) over a 1.06-mile (1.71-kilometer) distance, culminating in a large block Y. The BYU symbol was constructed as this hillside letter more than a century ago. The hike to the Y has long been one of Utah Valley's most popular hiking routes because it offers a beautiful perspective of Provo, Orem, the remainder of the valley's numerous communities, and Utah Lake. The trail is also frequently used by hikers, bicyclists, paragliders, and hunters to access the wilderness in the Slide Canyon region.

2026 Highlights: Y Trailhead features a dirt and gravel out-and-back trail that climbs over 1,000 feet in elevation across a 2.25-mile round trip to the top of the Block Y, with a wide path for two-way traffic and parking available at the Y Trailhead parking lot."

ROCK CANYON PARK REVIEWS

This park is very clean and take care of. We had a family picnic on the 4th of July we were able to stay and watch the fireworks and enjoy the atmosphere. Will definitely do this again.

Very nice park. Significant wind off the mountains cooled us. Biking, dogs and walking on the path. Hammocks in the trees. Kite-flying. Views of Utah Lake.

A great place for hiking, having fun, relaxing, amazing views, new playgrounds for kids to enjoy, and have lots of picnic tables around the whole park! I would recommend this park!!.

SCOUT FALLS REVIEWS

One of my favorite short hikes in the area. Springtime the falls are gushing all over the rocks and absolutely amazing. The fall the colors contrast with the rock cliffs. It's beautiful no matter when you go here. Special day today as we scattered our little bud named Charlie. He was a good dog and let his spirit entertain you as you wander through this beautiful place! Shall you all have a little bit more happiness as you head home..

Great hike and in the afternoon mostly in the shade, 6 year old handled it with no problem. 3 miles round trip from parking lot to falls. Some small water runoff patches on the trail.

Gorgeous trail with different color flowers and plants. Don't end too soon or you won't make it to the falls (climb up the tree roots), it is definitely worth seeing.

Y TRAILHEAD REVIEWS

Y Trailhead was such a great Hike to do! It’s definitely a must if you’re a outdoor lover. It has a total of 13 turns to make it to the very top of the Y. There’s Lots of signs with information about the Y’s history, distance, altitude and some of the wild life, plants and trees in the area. I very much enjoyed this hike. Will definitely be doing it again.

It's a great hike if you are looking for something short but difficult. Plan on 35 - 50 minutes up and the same going down. There are 13 switchbacks to the top of the Y. It IS uphill all the way. I am using it to get back in shape after my knee replacements. Surprisingly, there are people who can run it both directions!.

Awesome trailhead that can take you north or south on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, or straight up to the Y. Past the Y you enter Slide Canyon and can access a networks of other hikes. Great views of Utah Lake.
