Valley View Drive is a short, easy hike in northern Utah, about 0.1 mile from the town of Walker. The route is an out-and-back of roughly 0.4 miles, with a total elevation gain of about 24 feet, so it's a quick stop rather than a climb. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 69°F and October highs around 62°F, while July averages about 92°F and winter brings highs in the mid-30s. Several other short walks sit close by. East Antelope Drive is about 0.2 mile away, and Fernwood Picnic Area B Road and the Antelope Drive Exit are each within half a mile. For a longer outing, the Train Hop Area climbing area is about 3.5 miles off.
