"The Anthem East Trail makes its way into the hills and valleys of the Sloan Canyon right behind houses, a school, and a park. Even though it’s close to many homes, when riding the trail, it is easy to forget you are anywhere near an established community.

The first part of the trail is asphalt and is heavily used by people just walking, so be courteous and move out of the way for pedestrians. This is a multipurpose trail open to hiking, running, horseback riding, and biking. You should always give the right of way to hikers, runners, and those riding horseback."

"The Anthem East Trail makes its way into the hills and valleys of the Sloan Canyon right behind houses, a school, and a park. Even though the trail is close to many homes, when riding the trail, it is easy to forget you are anywhere near an established community.

The trail starts in the parking lot at Anthem Hills Park. The trailhead is clearly marked and there is a covered bench right next to the trail. The first part of the trail is asphalt and is heavily used by people just walking along the trail, so be courteous and move out of the way for people on the trail. Not far up the trail you’ll find a hiking trail to the right called Bear Paw Trail."
