OutdoorUpper Millcreek Canyon transitions into designated wilderness, offering more remote hiking and backcountry access for those seeking a full-day mountain adventure.

Millcreek incorporated as Utah's newest city in 2016, giving the longtime unincorporated community the municipal tools to shape its own destiny. Since then, investment in infrastructure, parks, and commercial corridors has accelerated. The result is a neighborhood that feels increasingly complete.
The craft brewery scene is Millcreek's calling card. Fisher Brewing — housed in a magnificently renovated 1937 industrial building — set a high standard when it opened, and others have followed. A post-canyon pint at one of these taprooms has become a beloved local ritual.
Millcreek Canyon remains the neighborhood's most important asset. The dog-friendly alternating-day policy is beloved by pet owners across the city, and the canyon's accessibility — paved road, no fee, year-round access — makes it one of the most-used outdoor spaces in the Wasatch Front.
