| Wasatch Hollow A Hidden Jewel |
| In Seconds, Leave Civilization Behind |
Wasatch Hollow is
the name for the
depression
through which
Emigration Creek
runs, just west of
1700 East in
Upper Sugar
House. It is a
gorgeous strip of
nature which,
although
surrounded by
homes, seems a
million miles away
from humanity. It
is a natural jewel
that makes living
in Sugar House
such a joy. I can
be in "the gully,"
as I've called it for
the past 20 years,
in two minutes
from my house on
Bryan Avenue.

| Private Land Starts here |
The wooded area above is Emigration Creek through Wasatch Hollow. The portion at the bottom of
the map (brown, with visible trails) is all on public land. Contrary to a mysterious sign that popped up
last year in that area, private land does not begin until the creek takes a turn to the east, deep in the
woods. You can verify this by checking the parcel maps at the Website of the County Assessor

If I don't have the time or
energy for a hike in the
foothills, I can still give my
dog a quality outdoor
experience that keeps her
from driving me nuts the rest
of the evening.
There is another section of
public land on the creek near
the church just west of 1900
East. While kids often travel
the whole creek down to 1700
East, they cross through the
yards of private landowners,
some of whom aren't real
happy about it. To be safe,
don't veer east of the 1700
East corridor, and turn back
when the creek turns east.
That's the prettiest section of
Wasatch Hollow anyway.

Emigration Creek in Wasatch Hollow is especially pretty during spring runoff.
This section of Emigration Creek is just west of the bare field in the map.

The Gully is a favorite with kids on bikes and folks with dogs.
During spring, the place looks like somewhere in the Okeefenokee Swamp.
