Limekiln to Dry Creek Loop Description

The Limekiln to Dry Creek Loop is a short and sweet trail in Salt Lake City. This trail may be short, but it is moderately challenging with steep inclines. Hikers should arrive prepared with proper hiking footwear. We recommend bringing along a set of hiking poles to aid your ascents and provide some extra support on the descents. This trail is a beautiful walk through the forest at all times of the year. Located just north of the University of Utah Campus, the Limekiln to Dry Creek Loop is a great spot to go for a study break to clear your head.

To hike this loop, begin on the east side of Tomahawk Drive in Salt Lake City. From the trailhead, follow the Limekiln Gulch Trail northeast. Stay right at the first divide, and go straight at the intersection of trails shortly after. About 0.9mi into your hike, the trail will split into three; take the path on your right-hand side to loop back southwest along the Bonneville Shoreline Trail: Dry Creek Section. Follow the Bonneville Shoreline Trail for one mile, then take your first right to follow Tomahawk Drive back to the trailhead where you began.
