Elephant Rock is a giant white rock jutting out of the side of the mountain. A few daring souls climb down a small steep descent to get to the actual rock for even better views than what you get from the recently-dedicated bench.The straight line distance between the parking area outside the park gates and the actual Elephant Rock isn’t very far, but it is considering you zigzag from canyon to canyon to get there. So, don’t underestimate the climb, which is 3.1 miles if I remember correctly. Budget 1.5 hours for the way up as an average climber, about 1 hour down unless you take pictures along the way.The trail itself is well kept except for a rocky area after the first bend. After the recent windstorm, some trees and undergrowth have been knocked over, but the debris was all cleared within a week.I’d give the trail and scenery 5 stars, but no one here except me and a select few wear masks while on the narrow trail.

In May the snow is all gone but the trail can still be muddy or wet depending on your time of day. Most dogs are well behaved and their owners are, too. The occasional biker passes on the left. Gradual uphill. Good time. Go before 6 or 7 am and you can almost have the place to yourself.

Easy hike, climbing up and down the giant elephant rock at the very top was risky but not that bad. Its about a two hour hike round trip if youre fast paced. Free parking is located before the gate, right next to the trail.

Excellent bike ride as always. Busy, but a good ride. Provides an excellent view of the valley

This is a great hike. Its also very popular. Expect to see plenty of other hikers and mountain bikers. Youll also see plenty of dogs, most of them are off leash, but friendly. There are also the occasional motorcycle and horse. Thats really the only downside. Its a very popular trail. However, you cant beat the views, and everyone weve ever met on the trail has been courteous.It may be too much for little kids. Our two year old is a trooper, but even in the baby backpack, he got worn out.The pictures are unedited, and were taken from the benches which overlook Elephant Rock and the valley below. The views are incredible. As you can see, we made it before dark and we were not disappointed!

This is a wonderful trail.Well worn so there isnt much to trip on.Nice views at the top.Mostly shaded.

Great easy hike, not difficult at all just very long so prepare to hike for a while if you want to get to the rock itself.The trail itself can get pretty muddy so prepare for that but it goes through the trees the majority of the time and is very pleasant!

Awesome hike. Watch out for bikers, most are nice but some seem irritated they have to share the trail with people and dogs.

I love this hike!! It is super super long but really beautiful!! It would be a good hike to bike on!! The top/end of the trail is super beautiful! Great views the whole way

Beautiful day for a hike.

A good 45 minute run from the parking area to Elephant Rock. Nice wide single track trail. Mostly shaded. A few bikes and other runners. Everyone very polite. Great experience!

My go-to dog hike during all 4 seasons, not much water after you walk over the bridge in the beginning, So make sure your pup has stocked up on H2O, That goes for you too! You only have 1 creek that you pass over during the hike to elephant rock, and it’s a good 5/7th’s up the trail. During winter (FAVORITE) the trail is pretty packed down till about half way. But after a fresh snowfall... it’s magical. (I hear there is a super secret treehouse that A White Labrador enjoys to hangout in) I can neither confirm or deny these accusations. I do HIGHLY recommend hiking this trail during all 4 seasons, you get a feel of the mountain with all the leaves off the tree’s. (And since this hike is located on the Northside of Mulluer Park Canyon, No need to worry about Rattlesnakes. If you happen to see a white Labrador wearing a GoPro, tell Loki “Hello Loki”.

Beautiful area! Amazing views! Enough said.

Great hike. This is actually White Rock on USGS maps.

Beautiful place! Long easy hike but totally worth it!

Pretty fun and easy little hike. You get a pretty cool view from the rock with benches for lunch.

This is a fantastic hike. The trail can be crowded at some times but is fairly wide. The first mile of the trail is pretty steep with switchbacks but becomes easier as you go up.

Favorite hike. Please leash your dogs and be courteous to people biking uphill. Bikers please slow down when going downhill and be courteous to hikers. Share the trail amd enjoy yourself, youre only alive once.

Very shady. Hikers and bikers respectful and friendly. Less problem with my back using this trail. Well use trail. Moderate. Well kept trail

I sort of want to tell everyone its terrible, so I can keep it all to myself.

Everyone & their dog in Bountiful goes to this hike.

Great hike! A little busy at the lower parts, but further up its really nice and quiet.

This is a fun hike and isn’t too hard. I wish I would have biked it.

Good times!

Beautiful hike. Not too difficult but could be considered long. Over 7 miles round trip. Shared with bikers and horses so there was a lot of hugging the shoulder.

The views are incredible

One of my favorite davis county hiking adventure trails and stunning visuals

Easy hike for families. Watch for bikers. About 7 miles round trip.

Not too long not too short, pretty highly trafficked but had the rock all to ourselves on our last trip. took about 2.5 hours out and back (though we ran down).

Love this trail!

Seriously my favorite hike ever :) its beautiful, and hard enough to get some exercise, but not so hard that its not enjoyable anymore. Its a really nice hike

Moderately easy hike or run with beautiful scenery and some shade

The view is pretty, but the service is only so so, and its quite a hike from the parking lot.

Nice hike for the whole family.

Perfect mostly shaded hike for an Amazing view!

The white rock that is prominently visible in the mountains East of Bountiful, Utah is a popular hiking destination.The trail, that is a loop between Muller Park and North Canyon is open to foot traffic, mountain biking, horse back riding, and even motorbikes.The white rock, that is sometimes known as Elephant Rock is a dear place to me. One night, the family of Wayne Smith missed him, as he did not return home. the next day, his body was discovered at the base of the white rock. Wayne was free climbing and fell.Please visit this well loved place, share the walk with your family, and enjoy your outing. The view is magnificent.To find the trail, it begins at the bridge at the beginning of Muller Park at the end of 1800 South, Bountiful, Utah.Thank you

Awesome hike love the trail. Would get 5 stars except there is not an easier access to the rock once you are there. Only a few benches to rest and view. They need steps or a rope to help you walk down to the rock ....

Good beginner level hike with a view

Good hike with and awesome view

I love this place. I used to hike to it many times when I was 10 years old. Fond memories

Beautiful

Great family hike. Very shady and beautiful views. Nothing too challenging. Can be crowded on weekends.

Great hike, wonderful views!

Beautiful hiking area! The hike its self isnt terribly difficult and it has some great views that come with it. I always enjoy it when I have gone.

Fun place to hike.

Great hiking, biking, and running trail. Gets busy though, so people with small kids or little dogs beware of bikers coming down the trail.

Very smooth and easy hiking trail. Very high amount of traffic. Too many dogs and too many cyclists.

A nice hike then once you get to the rock its an awesome experience to sit on the edge of the rock & look down cause its like a straight drop of like 700 ft from the edge of the rock down to the ground its so gorgeous. Its extremely easy to see when hiking to it cause it stands out since its a huge white rock surrounded by nothing but green trees.P.S. If youre into geocaching I believe theres a cache at elephant rock.

Great hike.

Favorite hike & bike trails in Bountiful, Utah

Great outdoors

Great hike or ride, but WAY too crowded. Plan your trip during off hours or early/late in the season.

One of my favorite rides in the fall!

Long hike but its so worth 7 miles

Love this trail! Do it monthly

Awesome view!

Great view of the valley. Usually a popular seating/viewpoint.

Great trail! Though if youre mtn biking, stay away during high traffic times (such as Saturday mornings or early evenings).

Gorgeous trail!

Fun little hike. easy trail. Cool view.

Nice hike with great views of the valley when you make it to the rock.

One of my favorite biking trails! Great for biking, hiking, and trail running with a beautiful view at the end that looks out over the whole canyon and the valley.

Good for the destination, but the hike and exercise is the real reward.

Too many bikes.

Awesome trail,great scenery/veiw

The trail is not too challenging, the views are great. But the Rock is not too elephant.

Awesome easy well maintained trail

Takes about 90 minutes to the spot, watch out for kid with motorcycle though

Beautiful
