Visiting Tony Grove Lake, Logan Canyon

Hiking

Tony Grove Lake, Utah, Hiking in Utah with Dogs

Tony Grove Lake is a popular summer hang out and camping area in Logan Canyon, Utah, about and hour and half drive from SLC. Not only is it dog friendly (off leash) and kid friendly, you can take your kayak or SUP on the lake, there's camping on the southern end of the lake or at the official campground, there's picnicking, hiking, fishing, and will definitely offer something for everyone in the family. Many people head for for just the day to explore Naomi Peak and White Pine Lake as well, or bring a camp chair and enjoy nature along the lake.

Backpacking to White Pine Lake, Logan Canyon

Backpacking

Backpacking to White Pine Lake, Logan Canyon, Utah

Backpacking to White Pine Lake in Logan Canyon can be described in one word - gorgeous! Or beautiful, or awesome, well...you get the idea. This was my first time to White Pine Lake, and I figured I would make the most of my time here and do a quick overnighter at the lake. White Pine Lake is surrounded by a large cliff wall to the West, Mt. Magog to the south, and Mt. Gog to the North.

Hiking to the Sherwood Hills Maze

Hiking

Sherwood Hills Maze

The Sherwood Hills Maze (or Labyrinth) in the foothills of Orem, Utah offers more of a spiritual destination, rather than say, an overlook. This area is not well know, and my friends who live in the area would like to keep it that way. Plus, I really wouldn't recommend this trail to anyone - there is a lot of overgrowth, bushwhacking is required, you have to be very careful about skirting around the private property in the area.

Hiking to Buffalo Peak

Hiking

Buffalo Peak, Utah, Hiking in Utah with DogsMost peaks require hours of effort and are typically suited for hikers with a lot of back-country experience, yet Buffalo Peak near Orem, Utah is a peak for the whole family to enjoy (even the dogs!). With the low elevation gain, and short distance, even children will be excited to summit this "peak". You can reach the summit in under 15 minutes at a moderate hiking pace, or closer to 30 minutes with children. Buffalo Peak offers a fantastic view of Utah Valley to the West, and the Cascade ridgeline to the East. Late Spring and Early summer is the best time to hike here while the wildflowers are blooming.

Hiking to Spanish Fork Peak

Hiking

Spanish Fork Peak

Spanish Fork Peak (10,192 ft) stands out by itself, as you make your way down HWY 6 towards Price, UT, it sits in between two other big peaks (Provo Peak to the North, and Santaquin Peak to the south). With almost 3,000ft of prominence, Spanish Fork Peak ranks #41 on the Utah Prominence Peak list, and is higher than any peak in Weber and Davis counties. This trail is not for the beginner hiker - it climbs 4,600 ft in just 5 miles. Steep is the name of the game, but your hard work will pay off with grand views of surrounding mountains and an alpine lake.

Hiking Mt. Pennell

Hiking

Hiking Mt. Pennell, Henry Mountains, Utah

Mt. Pennell (11,371 ft) is the 3rd highest point in the Henry Mountains, coming in after Mount Ellen and Mt. Ellen Peak. The Henry Mountains are off the beaten path for most hikers, but the range itself is a peak baggers dream! 5 of Utah's 81 prominence peaks are found in the Henry's: Mount Ellen (#3), Mt. Pennell (#26), Mt. Hilliers (#32), Mt. Ellsworth (#42), and Mt. Holmes (#64); the last two peaks are also known as the "Little Rockies." Take a few days to spend here, and you could knock out all five peaks.

Backpacking Coyote Gulch

Backpacking

Backpacking Coyote Gulch, Utah

Coyote Gulch, located in Southern Utah, is one of the most iconic and scenic canyons within the Escalante River drainage. Known for its towering red rock walls, natural arches, natural bridges, petroglyphs, cascading waterfalls, and stunning desert beauty, Coyote Gulch is a must-see for any Utah hiker or backpacker.

While some adventurous hikers complete the loop in a day, I highly recommend planning at least one night of backpacking—ideally two—to fully appreciate the canyon’s breathtaking features, cool stream crossings, and dramatic rock formations.
