Video I took this morning on my hike.
This is the biggest deer I have ever seen. There was 8 other deer pictures and one picture of two doe together. No cougar yet.

I got these pictures this morning of a young moose and and young buck deer. No cougars yet. Real good picture quality. I like the view of the city lights behind them. Also, neat that it gives you the time of day or night the picture was taken. I have seen many cougar tracks over the years on that trail, so it is just a matter of time before I get a picture. There/was maybe 6 other deer that I got pictures of also.

Winter X-ing















Here is a picture of the water, frozen.
I took this video of the first foot bridge crossing this morning. It is a winter view of the first video I posted, taken during the summer run off.

Log Foot Bridges in Centerville Canyon


The trail in Centerville Canyon crosses Deuel Creek at least 13 times. Each time the trail crosses the creek you either have to jump the creek or get wet. To make it easier to navigate, there are now 11 log footbridges placed at key crossings.

The footbridges have a slight slope so that it does not collect water, but be careful especially during springtime – the runoff can be heavy. I put metal mesh on the wood to prevent slipping when the wood gets wet.

As you near the 5 mile mark, you will see two creeks join. I believe we need two more footbridges before you reach that 5 mile mark.

The trail continues another 2 miles before you reach the road at Skyline Drive. Skyline connects Farmington with Bountiful. The road follows along the top of the canyon.

This picture is the first log foot bridge I built. It took me 5 weekends to complete. It is the first foot bridge you will cross on the north trailhead (fourth on the south trailhead).

First Foot Bridge Crossing

Here is a video of the first foot bridge crossing.
It is located about a third of a mile from the trailhead.
