Cedar Hollow

The trail climbs out of a pine and aspen forest in the Wasatch National Forest. Over 3.5 miles, it gains about 1,230 feet, running as a narrow shelf road through the trees before opening into a high, small meadow. Along the way, it passes a junction with an information board and pit toilets where the Aspen Pass ATV trail ties in, and it ends at a three-way junction that offers several routes to continue exploring, making Cedar Hollow useful both as a scenic out-and-back and as a connector into a larger network of trails.

The road is manageable for a stock high clearance vehicle; four-wheel drive isn't strictly necessary in dry conditions, but it helps on the loose rock and erosion found in the upper half. Two steep switchbacks hold good traction, and drivers should watch for embedded rock ledges and tight tree cover that can scratch wider vehicles. Camping is available at several dry, pine-shaded sites along the lower half of the trail, including one large enough for two or three big rigs; no developed facilities are available beyond the pit toilets at the upper junction.
