Three Ponds Trail
The Three Ponds Trail cuts across West Canyon Road from beside the Hidden Pinyon Trailhead along the main road in Snow Canyon State Park, following the seam that enters the very narrow canyon just to the west of West Canyon Road. The trail is located within more or less the middle of the park, where it connects many of the major trails together. At the end of the trail, hikers enjoy the view of the narrow canyon that encloses them with 400-foot walls. The trail is named for the large sandstone potholes that fill with water whenever it rains, and gains less than 150 feet of elevation throughout its length.
