You'll find the trailhead to the Bells Canyon Trail along Wasatch Boulevard in Sandy. Watch for signs right around 10245 South.
Just a half-mile in, you'll come to Bell Canyon Reservoir. It's the perfect spot for a picnic. Remember that this area is watershed, and pack out any trash you bring in.
Because it's so close to the city, this trail is particularly popular. For a quiet hike, you'll want to get started nice and early, and visit during a weekday if possible.
Once you're past the reservoir, the trail gets very difficult. Be prepared for some boulder scrambling, and a steep elevation gain. You'll definitely want to wear good hiking shoes for this one!
