The lower section of Trotters is heavily wooded with tight turns in shady basin. There is a few spring crossings along with a section of exposed trail and great views of Payson canyon as you climb to the Wakara junction.

The upper section is kinda steep and rocky. The lower section, once you get into the forest is sort of fun--a twisty avoid-the-trees sort of thing. If you're a speed demon or thrill seeker, you won't like the lower part.
MattMan33
Decent up top, but once tough get into the thick trees, the trail turns become incredibly tight for little reason. I usually avoid this trail.
