Little Cottonwood Creek Access at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon provides trailhead parking and access to a popular multi-use trail system that follows the creek for several miles.

The Temple Quarry trailhead offers a paved parking area and interpretive trail, making it an accessible starting point for hikers, runners, and cyclists of varying skill levels.

The trail features a wide, well-maintained dirt path with multiple creek crossings and access points, though water crossings may require appropriate footwear during high flow periods.
