About This Trail
This is a great out and back hike with moderate climbs and great footing. The South Fork of the Moormon's River has three stream crossing and multiple swimming holes. The parking area at the Sugar Hollow Reservoir is upper. The parking area is at the south end of the mountain trail. The back of the Turk Mountain Trail is Cross Skyline Drive, Turk Gap parking area, and Turk Branch Trail. It's great for Fall, Winter and Spring. It is hot in Summer and I have made the trek. The primary trails are all south facing and great for cool weather.
