Summary: Up Farmington Canyon is one of the great undiscovered trails of northern Utah. At about one and a half miles in length it is a comfortable hike and can be done most any time of year. The trail follows Farmington creek from the trail head up to Sunset camp ground. Sunset trail can be done as an up and back hike, from the top down and back or have someone pick you at the bottom. The canyon is a popular feeding area for deer and moose so be on the look out for all kinds of wildlife. Trailhead: From I-15, take the Lagoon Drive/Farmington exit (#326 from the south or #327 from the north) and head East to U.S. Highway 106 (Farmington's Main Street). On Main Street, drive south towards town. Turn east on 600 North then turn north on 100 East (Skyline drive) follow this road up Farmington canyon to the end of the pavement.

Reviewed by Bruce on 8/10/2008 It was an ok hike...not much too it. The trail is gradual and very narrow which made it seem repetitive. There are a couple good photo ops but nothing spectacular. 
Reviewed by Keith on 7/31/2006 This is our new favorite hike. We went late yesterday (7/30/06). Hike goes through goregous fields of wildflowers. At one point the hummerbirds seemed to be dive-bombing us. You can feel the vibration of their wings as they swoop and dive. Arrived at the top around 6. Beautiful views of Heber Valley. The sun was setting by the time me left. Spectacular. Not to be missed. Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
