Running
The roundabout at the top of McKellingon Canyon Road is located at McKellingon Canyon City Park Area. There is a lot of parking, bathrooms, trail access, a large pavilion with other smaller picnic areas, and even an amphitheater. A lot of people decide to drive to the top of the road so there are often more crowds on the upper trails and in the picnic areas than there are on the roads during the run up.
