This unique natural area in the Alpine Loop is a must-see! The springs were flowing and full of bright green plants even when we visited here in November— a surprising contrast to dark colors of the late fall landscape. Early fall is an especially beautiful time to visit when the fall colors are at their peak. There are several short, looping trails around the springs, making this a perfect spot to visit with young kids. The lower loop is wheelchair and stroller accessible.
Hike along Bonneville Shoreline to a cool suspension bridge and views over the valley. Hidden Valley Park functions as a trailhead and has a nice playground, picnic shelters, and bathrooms.
