Hidden Valley Loop Hike

There is a small trail behind the hospital that is less than a 2 mile round trip hike. My husband calls it a walk because it is really easy, but I call it a hike since the road isn't paved. We just found this recently walking around Rexburg. It's just fun walking around the loop because it feels like we're not trapped in little Rexburg. Here are some pictures:

This trail is actually a loop, so you can start from either end, but I recommend this side first. We took our baby in a jogging stroller. Some parts were harder than others, but it was fun. We'll take her again. I do not recommend taking a regular stroller though.

This is the entrance. If you are heading away from the BYUI campus and head north on 2nd East, turn right on 1st North (Adams Elementary). Go past the old Madison High School until the road makes a sharp left turn. Instead of going left, turn right onto Hidden Valley Road. Go all the way to the end and that is where the trail starts. Here's the sign at the entrance:

Towards the end, there is a small fort. Someone actually took time putting steps up to it.


The other end of the trail.


The trail ends at the corner or Centennial Loop and Starview Drive. If you just follow Starview Drive all the way down, it dead ends into Hidden Valley Road. Turn right and you will be back where you started!

This isn't a real hiking trail, but it is fun to walk through!
