Gardner Village

The Ridge Golf Club, originally known as West Ridge, opened in May of 1991. The Gene Bates Design Group was brought in to design a new 18-hole course that would truly cater to players of all abilities. Gene Bates is a renowned architect and his portfolio includes Old Mill, Riverbend, and Soldier Hollow in Midway. After looking at trends in the golf industry it was decided to build a golf course that would challenge and stimulate the low handicap golfer but not at the expense of seniors, women, juniors and new golfers to the game. According to early feedback from those who have toured the property, the new design takes on a feel that resembles golf in southern Utah or Mesquite, Nevada more so than anything locally. West Valley City intends to keep golf affordable so that golfers can expect competitive rates. In conjunction with its sister course, Stonebridge Golf Club, The Ridge will offer the $200 Player's Pass which allows golfers to play 18-holes with a cart for only $14. The Player's Pass is without rival when it comes to keeping golf affordable. Punch cards for frequent play or the driving range will be offered as well. The new golf course will open as a major player in the corporate and charity golf tournament market. With competitive rates and service, and attention to detail, tournament planners will undoubtedly snatch up prime dates for their events.

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.

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.   
  
[EVENTS AT EIGHT SETTLERS](https://eightsettlersdistillery.com/events/)  
Eight Settlers Restaurant & Distillery has five beautiful rooms available to host your event, whether it is small and intimate or a large gathering. Each setting has a rustic look with modern elegance that is perfect for any type of event.

Eight Settlers Distillery

Our purpose is to establish a place where the native Hawaiian community can learn, share and experience their culture and unique lifestyle of the "islands" right here in Utah.

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.
