Description

Added by Eric Bennett

Burraston Ponds is great for swimming, especially with the awesome rope swing. Great stargazing and warm water!

Pulling into Mona Reservoir and Burraston Ponds you will see some trees to hang up a hammock and have a relaxing afternoon and evening.

The bonus is that there's an awesome Mona Rope Swing, which makes this a great place to cool off during summer. Make sure to look up at night because the milky way will be incredible since you are far away from any light pollution.

To sum it up, Burraston Ponds is great place to relax!

The parking area for the trailhead is along a short dirt road, which is precisely marked on the location map. The trail itself is easy to follow. The dirt road leading to the trailhead is called Mona Pole Rd. The trail leaves the...

Heading in the canyon you will drive along a winding road for a while until you pass through a gate (Closed during Winter, this is where you will need to pull over and continue down the road on foot) about a mile up you will see a trailhead on the left called "Bennie Creek" and right after you will see the "Grotto Trail" sign on the left just up the road. You will see many mini trails branching...

Photographing Little Sahara Recreation Area

What I used: An old Nikon D80 that was converted into an infrared camera. The infrared camera can be used to create some unique images. The monochrome images that I uploaded were created with the IR camera.NIkon D7000. I used these for the night shots with milky way. The images were created using a high ISO (4000-6400 range) and about 15-20 sec shutter speed at f 2.8. This setting helped to cap...

The beautiful canyon contains some outstanding hiking as well and this adventure will give you a taste of the entire canyon. The trailhead is located just south of Mount Nebo and is about a 1.5 hour drive from Salt Lake City. Exit I...
