Getting there, Orem Bench Trailhead: Drive
towards the mountains on 800 North. At 800 East, turn left and drive north
about 1 mile. Immediately past the cemetery, turn right (east) on Cascade
Drive just before the Y in the road and drive 1/2 mile, go up 2 short
switchbacks, and park just above the small brown building in the paved
parking area.
Dry Canyon Trailhead: Turn east off State Street at 200 South in Lindon, which also happens to be 2000 North for Orem. Keep straight as you approach the mountains. When the road forks, veer left, then keep straight uphill as the road turns to gravel. The parking area is at N 40° 20.52' W 111° 40.62'. |
