Millcreek Canyon is on the east side of the Salt Lake Valley, just south of I-80 and Parleys Canyon. To get there, take I-215 South from I-80 and take exit 4 off of I-215 and go left (east) on 3900 South.

Turn left on Wasatch Blvd just after crossing under the highway, then the next right on Millcreek Canyon Road.

0.7 miles from the junction of Wasatch Blvd and Millcreek Canyon Road is the entrance to Millcreek Canyon and the pay booth.

Mileage below is from the pay booth.

0.7 miles - Pipeline Trailhead on the left (north).
2.4 miles - Church Fork Trailhead on the left (north).
2.5 miles - Desolation on the right (south).
3.4 miles - Porter Fork on the right (south).
3.5 miles - Burch Hollow Trailhead (north).
3.7 miles - Terraces Picnic Area / Trailhead (south).
3.8 miles - Winter Gate Closure
5.4 miles - Elbow Fork Trailhead (Mount Aire)

From the Elbow Fork trailhead, follow the trail north. It parallels the stream quickly coming to the Lambs Canyon junction. Go left here, crossing a bridge and following the stream up. The stream dries up the farther up you get.

Near the pass, the trail enters a grove of aspen trees before cresting the ridge and offering the first big views. Catch your breath here, there is still 700' of elevation to be gained!

Mount Aire is to the right. Follow the trail as it steeply zig-zags up to the summit.

From the summit, Parleys Canyon is the first canyon to the north. Looking south the most prominent peak is Gobblers Knob, with Mount Raymond just to the right (west) of it with Baker Pass in between.
