Miller Hill

Off-roading Miller Hill is a well-spent day meandering through wildflowers and a rich forest of pine and aspen. The journey will lead you to some awe-inspiring overlooks of the Wasatch Mountains. Aside from the beauty, the trail itself is a relatively easy-going dirt path with some rocky patches and a few minor challenges to keep the ride entertaining for both driver and passenger. Situated in the American Fork Mining District, formed in July of 1870, the trail offers an abundance of mining history with a few remaining sites to be seen. Jacob and William Miller discovered rich ore deposits on what would become known as Miller Hill. The Miller Hill Mine stopped producing ore by 1874, started up again briefly the following year, and then shut down permanently.
