Moderate trail along the rim with spectacular views of the breaks and Brian Head. Abundant wildflowers along the trail in the summer.

Park at the visitor center parking lot and start hiking the trail. You'll admire the great views of the breaks and canyons below. If you hike in the summer, be sure to take the time to photograph the many beautiful wildflowers, old cedars, and marmots.
