Sessions Mountain Road

Named after Perrigrine Sessions, who founded the original Sessions Settlement (later renamed Bountiful) in 1847, Sessions Mountain Road winds along a ridgeline with sweeping views of the Salt Lake and Morgan Valleys. The gravel and rock access road climbs steadily from Bountiful, eventually reaching the crest where travelers can turn south onto Sessions Mountain Road. The trail gently traverses wildflower-filled meadows and ridgelines before growing more challenging in its final mile, where two steep descents, and the climbs back out, raise the difficulty. Around mile 3.5, erosion has created a precarious drop, though an alternate bypass exists. Just beyond, a rocky knoll near mile 3.7 offers an outstanding overlook of the surrounding range, including a clear view of Grandview Peak. Along the route are several inviting campsites and side trails, and the area connects well to the Great Western Trail system, making it a worthy destination for both off-roaders and backcountry adventurers.
