The entire event will be a Score-O format folks!

Weather & Terrain

East Mountain Wilderness Park is a 140-acre natural area in the foothills of Kaysville, Utah, featuring rocky terrain, scrub oak forests, and 1.7 miles of popular hiking/biking trails. The trail system is extensive, and is usually the best route choice between controls. With the warmer weather, you could see more wildlife, including rattlesnakes.

The surrounding areas were part of the early settlement of Kaysville (incorporated 1868), with nearby land used for homesteading by the Harvey family in the late 19th century. Established to preserve open space in the hills, it includes campgrounds named after former mayors and offers scenic views of the Wasatch Mountains — a fun and challenging map for all skill levels.

  • Long pants are recommended for going offtrail.  

  • Shoes with good off-road traction are recommended. Some hills are steep and can be slippery with standard road running shoes.

Facilities

Bathroom at the trailhead parking lot should be open.
