Dry Creek is located in Dimple Dell Park in Sandy, Utah. Dimple Dell has been set-aside as a protected natural area. It is one of the few places that looks much as it did when the pioneers arrived. Although there are some invasive species, such as thistle, most of the plants are native to Utah. Dogs can be walked in the park, but must remain on a leash. Horseback riding is common, and you should yield to the riders. While planting the letterbox we saw a grey squirrel, magpies, scrub jays, house finches, a flicker, and evidence of pocket gophers.
Instructions:
From the I-15 freeway, exit at 10600 south, heading east. Go east on 10600 South until it ends at 2000 east. Turn left and follow the curve to the east. It will become Dimple Dell Road. Watch for a large gravel parking lot a few hundred feet east of the park headquarters on the left. The parking lot is lined with a rail fence.
From Wasatch Blvd.:
Turn West on Little Cottonwood Road. Make a hard left at Old Wasatch Blvd. (9800 South). Continue to a stop sign by an old white church. This should be 3100 east. Turn left and then right at Mount Jordan Road. The next stop sign should be at Dimple Dell Road. Turn left and follow Dimple Dell Road to the trailhead, which is at a parking lot on the right. It is a large gravel parking lot a few hundred feet east of the park headquarters. The parking lot is lined with a rail fence.
Once at the trail head, look for the blue sign. Go down the trail by the sign to the left and into the gully. Pass the amphitheater and follow a wider path to the bottom. Turn left at the post. You will see Dry Creek on your right. This creek dries up in the fall, and runs in the spring and summer. Cross the bridge and continue 30 steps to a small dirt track going up to the right. As the trail begins to decend, turn east. Take 11 steps, turn right to go under some branches at the base of an oak tree. Under a pile of small logs and rocks is the letterbox.
