This easy trail is about 1.4 miles long one way with a 120 foot elevation change. It basically follows the Logan River and connects the Spring Hollow Campground to the Guinavah Campground. We hiked starting at Spring Hollow and ended at Guinavah, so the elevation graph below reflects that direction.

There are a number of informative signs along the trail, but many are damaged due to age or vandalism. The views of the canyon and river are nice, and you can also see the Wind Caves across the way.
The trail seems like it would be pretty well shaded, though we happened to try it on a cloudy day in any case.

This trail is located near Logan in Cache County, Utah. From Main Street in Logan turn east onto 400 North. Continue on this road for about 6.5 miles as it heads out of the city and up the canyon until you reach Spring Hollow Campground on your right. After turning in, you will find a parking area to the right after you cross the bridge. From there, walk across the street you just drove in on and follow the dirt trail a short ways until you come to the signs for the trailhead. GPS Coordinates: N41 45.188 W111 43.019
Alternatively, you could drive 7.4 miles up 400 North/US-89 until you reach the Guinavah Campground to start there.
