Description

The Leppy Hills trail system is a series of 3 loops, the shortest being Loop A and the longest being Loop C. Expect a hard-packed gravel surface with some rolling hills. As you are hiking around, keep your eye out for some interesting rock formations and fossils of snails and clams from when Wendover was a lake 15,000 years ago. The trail is not shaded and is best used in early morning or evening during the summer months.

A restroom, picnic tables and a water fountain is located at the trail head and parking lot area.
