First time ever to Neffs Canyon. Great little trailhead with plenty of parking. Just a small jaunt through a residential area to get to it. Only had 2 hours for the trail. Trailhead sits at 5585', we went for 1.8 miles to the Mt. Olympus Wilderness Boundary at 6650'. Todd and I both loved the canyon. A new find for both of us, the trail was steep in places. The first section has been widened for vehicle access. Very rocky in spots. Narrow canyon and the weather was great, so even though we were truckin' it on snow a bit there was no wind. Great views of Antelope Island and some funky rock formations higher up the canyon walls. This is where Mt. Olympus spring water comes from. Trucks take the water from Neffs canyon to a bottling facility in Salt Lake. This canyon will be beautiful in the summer and more so in the fall when the leaves fill in then change color. Lots of deciduous trees. Dogs are permitted as this is not a watershed canyon. Supposed to be 5.5 miles RT. We'll see. Definitely a canyon to get into again.
