Murdock Bench is an easy, short connector between Daniel's Pass and the popular Strawberry Ridge trail, spurring off the Main Canyon trail. The trail winds through primarily aspen forests, with a smooth and wide road surface. As you gain altitude, you are treated to stunning views across open meadows to Heber Mountain and on to the High Uintas. Beyond its fall viewing lure, this road is also a hotbed for early summer wildflowers. The trail offers a wide range of camping options and is a good base camp location when exploring the entire Strawberry Reservoir region.
