Doughnut Falls
Hiking area
πŸ‘πŸ‘ This unique waterfall is actually a very easy hike. Although the hike to the base is very strait forward it’s a bit tricky to make the final climb up to the actual cave. Of you want to go inside the cave you have to scramble up a short section on boulders. The water is very cold and you will definit...

Lake Blanche Trailhead
Hiking area
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Numerous list have called Lake Blanche the best hike in Utah. I can see why. It is a bit long but the slope is gentle. The view on the very top is obviously gorgeous, but the view all along the way is beautiful too. My of the way is near the river. And in late June, we enjoyed a meadow of Lakspur ha...

Neffs Canyon
Hiking area
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Such a beautiful hike. It was so much fun with the family and dogs. The views and water on this hike was beautiful as well. We will be doing this hike more often. I would recommend going in early afternoon on a weekday, though. After 5pm it got really busy and with so many cars in the parking lot, p...

Mount Olympus Trailhead
Hiking area
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Mount Olympus has been on the top of my bucket list for a while. β›°πŸ₯Ύβœ¨I’ve done other previous hikes to try to prepare for the ~8 miles hike with 4,200 ft elevation gain. I’m glad I did! We started at 8 am in the morning and the incline started from the first mile. Starting early meant shade cover f...

Bell Canyon Waterfall
Park
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Just got done with this hike with my two kids. (7 and 5) the beginning seemed to be a bit more rocky than most mentioned, then it eased up and was an enjoyable hike. What I wasn’t exactly prepared for was the last 100 or so yards being as steep and rocky as it was. In the end with some breaks we al...

Little Mountain Summit
Park
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Parking for this hike is across the road and has bathrooms. Very steep for a little bit at the beginning but then is fairly flat with some incline here and there. I’m not sure how far this trail extends, I only went 2 miles and turned around. Not much shade.

Millcreek Pipeline Trail
Hiking area
πŸ‘ Recommend spikes they help in the ice and snow. However, the views are beautiful and the trail is always welcoming. There was a skunk on the trail. Be cautious of that besides that the snow was deep and packed mostly.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Been first time at this picnic place. Really nice views, quiet and clean. Some flies and hornets were bothering us while we were eating, so we had to finish really quick. Otherwise we had a great time.

Little Cottonwood Creek Trail
Hiking area
πŸ‘πŸ‘ One of my favorite trails! I would rate this as easy. Not a trail I would take a stroller on but easy to carry a child in a carrier. There is one part that I would say is steep but my 2 and 4 year old at the time could handle it. It ends at a really pretty old power plant. It's shaded and takes mayb...
