This is the lower section of the trail that is difficult, but not as much as a rocky climb as the upper part that continues all the way to the summit of American Fork Twin Peaks.

Once you get up to the top rocky area, the views are spectacular. You can see from Antelope Island to Utah Lake. The first part of the hike is mostly brush but as you get towards the top, there are some great places where you feel like you are going through tree tunnels.

      Went 2 days ago. Me and my cousin started at the orison smith trail head below the suspension bridge, and went up the trail of the eagle, very steep with no flat spots, and only a few places to stop and rest but SUPER beautiful the views were a amazing! bring LOTS of water at least 3-4 litters of water + a sports drink of some kind there are NO places with water. stoped at the cabin before hiking back down the Cherry canyon trail which had even more amazing views. Very sore in the morning for sure.

      Too much snow. You can get almost all the way up to the cabin. That last .5 mile or so is postholing snow. Ended up turning around.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
