Slate Gorge

Slate Gorge trail is sure to slow you down, take you away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and get you out to some really magnificent sights. Barely a quarter-mile down the trail, Trident Lake lies amidst a meadow with protective surrounding conifers. Trident Lake serves as both a popular fishing destination, in addition to providing a handful of optimal campsites overlooking the small, but beautiful lake. If you're looking to explore further, the trail will lead you out toward the canyon rim, overlooking Slate Gorge. Carved by the Provo River, the gorge exposes two beautifully cascading waterfalls and several layers of flat slate rock.
