Trail Information

The Northgate Peaks Trail is a short, easy trail that leads south from Wildcat Canyon Trail to an overlook of Northgate Peaks. The trail skirts the eastern edge of Pine Valley on its trek to reach the peaks. It ends at a point between the peaks and directly north of the summit of North Guardian Angel. The Northgate Peaks Trail gains little elevation and is an excellent short hike to enjoy with older children.

Directions

From Virgin:
Drive north on Kolob Terrace Road approximately 16 miles toward Kolob Reservoir. Look for a trailhead on the left side of the road immediately after Pocket Mesa.
