Always a 5 star view. Some days are better than others to visit. Id say the day after Labor day is a great time. Doesnt hurt that we had a storm too. Made the journey even better and pics fantastic.

Not a hard hike. Last 1/4 Mile is pretty steep but very manageable. Mt biked most of the way up the second time and it was a blast coming back down.

Absolutely amazing view. Almost killed this old lady but I made it. Fun for all ages and very easy to read trail. I recommend early morning as it gets pretty warm where there isnt any shade.

Great hike to the overlook, only took me 30 minutes to get there. On the way back, I recommend taking a right and going on the horse flats trail. In the summer the Aspens there are great, and lots of ferns under the shade.

Great hike! Tougher one for our littles (youngest was 3) but we all did it. Phenomenal views, well shaded and has a good cross breeze so it didnt get too hot. Would absolutely do it again!

Amazing trail. About 3 miles round trip. There are a few different ways you can go to get to the Primrose Overlook from the parking lot. Just pick one and eventually youll make it to a sign that will point you to the right path.

Great hike with an amazing view at the end. Pretty moderate elevation climb until the last quarter mile. 1.5 miles to the view from the summit trailhead parking by lot

This is a great hike that rewards you with an epic view at the end. I would say it’s for ages seven and up.

This is a great spot to survey Aspen Grove trail conditions as winter melt off occurs.

What a beautiful hike and overlook! Absolutely loved it. Only saw 5 other people on the trail. Windy at the top, but so worth it.

If I could give it 10 Stars I would! Absolutely beautiful, it reminds me how grateful I am I live close to such beauty. The hike to get there is a little bit challenging toward the end because you have a really steep section to climb oh, but it is so worth it with the views.

This is definitely worth the hike! There is a variety of terrain and views. Some ups and downs on the trail, a few steep parts but they are short. There is a stunning view if primrose cirque including waterfalls that were still flowing off Timp. Beautiful!

We took this trail for the first time today, As avid hikers, we were pleasantly surprised at the prize at the end(the view/overlook). We logged just over 4 miles because we walked around a bit off trail exploring along the way. I think if you stuck to the trail it would be just over 3 miles round trip. For a short hike, it is an amazing hike. Plenty of shade along the way, and the views from the overlook are incredible. You can see all the way to Deer Creek Reservoir & the Heber Valley. We seen lots of children(of all ages) and lots of people with dogs. Not counting our time at the overlook, it took us 40 minutes each direction with no children and not pushing ourselves.

We had a chance encounter with a friend who was going to this outlook. It was a medium length hike with some steep sections (longer than we expected) but the view was worth it! Ive never seen Mount Timpanogas from that angle!

Beautiful hike. Dogs on leashes welcome. Steep towards the end so just take it slow if needed.

Skip the crowded Stewart Falls hike and mosey out to this beautiful panoramic vista overlooking the entire Wasatch Back. Youre high above Sundance and Aspen Grove at the end of the hike and the majesty of the Timps backside soars above you in all its grandeur.Drive up to the top of the Alpine Loop, park in the lot at the summit. The trailhead starts right at the parking lot on the south side. Follow the trail signs to Horse Flat. I call portions of this hike The Time Machine Trail due to the many initials and dates carved into the Aspen trees from young lovers decades back. Please dont add anymore initials.Its about a 20-25 min hike to Horse Flat with another 20-25 mins to Primrose Overlook. Just stay on the trail and youll end up at the overlook. Some portions of the hike are stiff with some good elevation gain but are short in duration. Plan on 1.5-2 hours roundtrip.

This is a non-technical hike that requires a moderate amount of exertion. The trail takes you through several beautiful meadows and ends with a breathtaking view that spans from Mt. Timpanogas to Wallsburg.This is a great hike to do at different times of the year to see how much the landscape changes. On our last hike we witnessed a herd of two dozen elk running down a hill, it was awesome.I recommend using hiking sticks and good hiking boots as some of the hills are covered in silt and it can be challenging to get a good footing.

Beautiful hike to a magnificent view of the backside of Mt. Timpanogos. Started at the summit trailhead off the Alpine Loop. A 1.5 mile hike to the overlook. Wildflowers were amazing!

The trail from Summit Trailhead gets quite steep toward the end, but Primrose Overlook is spectacular. May consider using bug repellent, as the mosquitos are pretty thick around the small basins and clearings along the way.
