Rexburg Nature Park
Rexburg, Idaho
0.8 miles NW of Rexburg, IdahoRexburg Nature Park:
Life can be stressful, annoying, or just not good. Sometimes, it takes a moment to simply get away from the non-sense of this world; to gather yourself and seek peace and tranquility. That option is around the corner; you drive and see a trail, so you park and walk on the trail. As you walk, there's trees and sunlight shining on the leaves. You walk further and see a pond with ducks (both green and brown) and families sitting on the green grass with their kids; they watch, feed the ducks and take pictures with a smile on their face.
You go back to your vehicle and reminisce what you saw. Close to the south fork of the Teton River, is a nature park that isn't crowded with college students or infested with incoming traffic but a 15 acre park that was made so you can take your family or acquaintances for a picnic or a social gathering and enjoy; you also have the option to ride your bike or to jog on the trails.
The park is next to the Claire Boyle skate park, a beautiful golf course next to the fairgrounds and a 9 hole Frisbee golf course.
Features:
-Playground for the kids
-Fishing ponds ( A valid fishing license is required); fishing ponds for children as well.
-Wildlife and wildflowers

Swim
Last visited on 14 Jun 2018
Monkey Rock features a beautiful waterfall you can wade right up to during the summer. Just under the waterfall is a great spot to wade around in or even some shallow swimming pretty good for small children. Maybe you just want to take advantage of the great bank to bask in the summer sun. The water temperature is fairly cool, which by no means is unwelcomed during the hot summer months. You'll get used to the water fairly quickly once you're in. The waterfall is a fun feature at Monkey Rock, not to mention a popular engagement photo backdrop. The name "Monkey Rock" is derived from the "monkeys" who jump off the rocks at the top of the falls to the pool below. Though not a great height, it's important to be careful and only jump into areas clear of rocks and other hazards and where the water is deep enough that you won't hit bottom when you jump. There really isn't a safe spot to jump from the falls as it doesn't usually get more than 5 feet deep.
The real jumping location is off the Hog Hollow Bridge up the road from the waterfall.
PLEASE NOTE: On the roads leading to Monkey Rock, the speed limit is 35 mph for the last mile. There are kids, cows, horses, and dogs along that road and many people tend to speed going to and from Monkey Rock. Please slow down and stay safe.

Gailey Trail At Nicholls Park (Nicholls Hollow)
Kaysville, Utah
1.1 miles SE of Kaysville, UtahThe shady Gailey Trail at Nicholls Park (also known as Bair Creek or Nicholls Hollow) is perfect for walking, running, and enjoying the fresh air of nature all four seasons of the year. The nature trail has a nice tree cover overhead to keep you cool in the summer and is mostly dirt and bark. The trails trees leaves are incredible to admire in the autumn and transform into a magnificently snowy wonderland in the winter months as the white treetops are covered. While dogs are allowed along the trail, they must be on a leash. Trail map boards and benches are located along the way. There are small bridges to walk over streams throughout the trail. The trail is not difficult but there are multiple entrances to the Gailey trail and some are easier access than others. The parking lot closest to Main Street in Kaysville provides the least steep hill to access the trail whereas the entrance near the Nicholls playground and pavilions is quite steep. The trail is located below Castle Park of Fruit Heights City, known for its bright red castle tops, bark, swings and large grassy areas with a spectacular view of the mountains.

Start at the White Rock Bay campground and pedal around the base of Buffalo Point along the shore of the Great Salt Lake. Turnaround where conditions get too rocky and watch the sun set from a trail-side rest bench.Courtesy of utah.com
There is some interesting singletrack out here, but you've got to fight your way through a lot of boring doubletrack to get there. Their scenery is nothing special as the Great Salt Lake isn't that pretty (not to mention the smell). This ride's most redeeming feature is that it dries out before the Wasatch, so you can get some training in before the real trails open up. Courtesy of Singletracks.com

St. Anthony Sand Dunes
Saint Anthony, Idaho
6.0 miles NW of Saint Anthony, IdahoBest known for their offroad riding conditions, the St. Anthony Sand Dunes provide a sledding experience unlike any other.

Mueller Park Trail
Bountiful, Utah
2.9 miles SE of Bountiful, UtahThe Mueller Park Trail is a great year-round trail that's almost right off the road. It's considered moderate difficulty. It's a gradual grade with beautiful views. It's a popular trail in the summer so be prepared to move over for other bikers and hikers. The trail is generally wide enough for both.
Length:
- 13 mile round trip
- 3.6 mile to Elephant Rock
This is a very popular out-and-back ride, for good reason. It's full of smooth buff singletrack out of the city, with fast, flowy turns coming back down. It's steady, light-to-moderate climbing the whole way up to Rudy's Flat, with some minor technical sections in the upper half. Courtesy of MTBProject.com
This is a great little up and back route. You'll climb just shy of 2,000 feet over 6.5 miles, but it seems like less. You'll know you've reached the top when the trail levels out in a clearing. If you want to do a loop, you can continue on. The trail will drop more steeply than going back the way you came. However, there will be a few miles of road back to where you started. If you turn around, you reap the reward of the fast, flowy downhill back to your car. It's best to do this at an off-peak time as this is a popular trail and you may not want to interrupt that very fun downhill by all the necessary yelds to uphill riders. If you want to get most There is lots of vegetation along the way and the trees throw lots of color in the fall. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
