We went for a short little hike (1 1/2 miles RT) to "Turtle Hill" right here in Eagle Mountain. It's called Turtle Hill because supposedly, from afar, the hill looks like a turtle in a shell........I didn't see it, but someone must have.
It was busy! A lot of other people had the same idea as we did! The payoff of this short hike is at the top you have a fantastic view of all of Eagle Mountain and beyond.
 |
| The trail is more of a ATV road |
 |
| Even from the bottom, the views of the valley are expansive |
 |
| This housing development looks so small! |
 |
| Keep going! Almost there! |
 |
| The lines in the middle are the power lines...they are so straight and go on forever!!! |
 |
| At the top, this is looking the other way - there are so many ATV and mountain biking trails all over |
 |
| Can you see the geocache? It's a large ammo box to the left of the biggest rock |
 |
| It was pretty windy and cold at the top! |
 |
| Another large ammo box geo cache on the way down |
 |
| We drove out to see the Facebook Data Center construction, but we couldn't get very close...We didn't have our IDs ready |
VIDEO: All of Eagle Mountain can be seen in this video. It has the potential of being Utah's largest city (in size) - as you can see in this video, the valley is huge!
