Rattler Trail - Loop from Coyote Hollow
The Rattler Trail starts on the upper end of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail in Corner Canyon. It climbs south parallel to the Corner Canyon road, then forks to either descend to the Ghost Falls trail or connect uphill to the Corner Canyon road. This route starts from the Coyote Hollow trailhead. Keep northeast and generally downhill in the bottom of the hollow. As you arrive at a confluence of dirt road, find the singletrack heading toward the creek. Cross the bridge and climb the Bonneville Shoreline to Aqueduct, then climb again on the BST. Fork hard right when you reach Rattler. Follow Rattler uphill, then descend to Ghost Falls. Quickly find your way across the creek (left, then right, then right) to descend Canyon Hollow. |
