Where Are the Trailheads on the East Bench?

The Emigration Trailhead is at 2699 E Sunnyside Ave, across from Rotary Glen Park and the zoo. It is the start of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, which runs along the foothills.

The Arcadia Trailhead is at 1825 S Lakeline Dr, next to the Arcadia Heights Open Space.

Rotary Glen Park, at 2850 E Sunnyside Ave, has a dog park and a nature trail, so bring your pup. Sunnyside Park, at 1735 E Sunnyside Ave, has sports fields, tennis courts, a playground and a pavilion. Smaller parks close by: Wasatch Hollow Park (1631 E 1700 S), Laird Park (1185 S 1800 E), Dilworth Park (1953 S 2100 E) and Curtis Park (1421 S 2200 E).

Foothill trails are dirt, and in winter they can be icy in the morning. A flat park loop is the better pick on those days. I keep the trailheads, parks and phone numbers for the area on my East Bench parks page.
