During the pandemic we made a goal to hike once a week. These were some of the trails our family of 7 experienced.

This is a quick 1/2 mile trail to an overlook north of the salt lake valley. Its short but had a gradual incline. No shade and beautiful views!

This can be hiked from the north and from the south. We prefer the north trail. More vegetation! 3.3 miles from the north out and back.

Not for the faint of heart, be sure to bring plenty of water on this trail. We hiked it on Independence Day and the waterfall was beautiful. It was a challenging hike but our youngest at the age of 4 did the whole thing without being carried.
