Broken Window (2020-08-12) There was broken glass from a smashed window in the parking lot. It is common for thieves to do smash and grab thefts at trailhead parking lots. I figure the image might be a good stock photo.

Mule Hollow is a short but steep walk just above the Storm Mountain Picnic area in Big Cottonwood canyon. The walk is rather steep and the trail is largely on slate; so it is not the most pleasant walking.

The walk provides some stunning views of Storm Mountain.
