EIGHT SETTLERS’ FOUNDERS  
After owning a business in Utah and successfully pioneering a restaurant and sports bar in California for 12 years, coupled with many years of researching the distillery business, we were ready to take the big leap to fulfill our longtime dream of opening our own distillery. Radu enjoyed distilling spirits as a young boy with his grandpa in his home country of Romania, and had his mind set on distilling professionally someday.  
  
As Utah residents for more than 26 years, starting our next venture in our home state was a logical decision. We found Utah to be a beautiful state, a wonderful place to raise our family with its welcoming and friendly residents with a strong sense of community, and an inviting place for entrepreneurship.  
  
Our hearts and souls are immersed in Eight Settlers and finally, after so many years of planning, we have been about to see our carefully crafted dream materializing. It has been an emotional and priceless journey for both of us and we embrace the opportunity to share it.

Eight Settlers Distillery

An intermediate out-and-back hike that follows a small canyon stream up to a waterfall. A fairly steep hike offering beautiful views and a quick way to be up and out of the city.

A moderately trafficked hike that will only take a couple hours but will put you deep into a small canyon on the Mt Olympus mountainside. Connects to a section of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail that also crosses the Mt Olympus peak trail. Shady, cool trail that follows a stream for most of the way, and ends at a rock slide in view of a pretty waterfall.

**Local's recommendation:** Best times of year are spring through fall. Can be done in the winter with proper gear - Yaktrax or snowshoes, depending on the snow/ice.

**Details**

**Difficulty:** Moderate

**Highest point:** 6234 ft

**Lowest point:** 4859 ft

**Best time of year:** Summer and Fall, With proper gear Winter and Spring are also good.

**Safety information:** As with any trail in the foothills, watch for rattlesnakes, especially in summer months. Wear closed-toed shoes when hiking, be aware of your surroundings, and always look carefully before placing hands or feet. Be sure to bring plenty of water. This is a steep trail, so a walking pole can be helpful.

**Roadbook**

From the trailhead, follow the trail up the mountain. When you reach the turn off for the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, stay on the Heughs Canyon Trail. When you come to the rock fall, you can get a good view of the waterfall and back down the canyon by scrambling to the middle of the rock area. It is also possible to scramble to the bottom of the rocks and walk up the stream to the base of the waterfall. There is a section of trail that continues at the top of the rock fall for those that have experience on that terrain.

Follow that for 400 feet and turn right on Canyon Winds Lane (formerly Berghalde Drive) and follow this one tenth of a mile to the end of the street.

Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.
