From the Josie Morris Cabin, the Hog Canyon trail travels into Hog Canyon. The trail is mostly level a shaded throughout the day as it passes through the craggy Weber sandstone walls from Split Mountain. Hikers are asked to remain on trail as poison ivy does grow inside the canyon.
During her time homesteading in the Cub Creek area, Josie Morris would pen and raise her livestock within Hog Canyon. The massive sandstone walls on three sides acting as a natural corral for her animals.
Length: ¾ mile one way / 1.5 mile round trip. Not a loop.
