The Subway in Zion National Park is a hiker and photographer's dream destination! The Subway follows the Left Fork Canyon in Zion National Park, and along the way, you'll have a vast view of the canyon, walk along the river and hike by several deep pools, and hike where only 80 people are allowed in each day.
Mount Superior (11,040ft) & Monte Cristo Peak (11,132 ft) are two classic and iconic Wasatch Peaks that every peak bagger should summit. Both peaks dominate the Little Cottonwood Canyon Ridge, and are focal points to the north when skiing at Alta or Snowbird. Both Mt. Superior and Monte Cristo are summited year round - in the winter by backcountry skiers, and in the summer by hikers looking for a fun little scramble.
Grandeur Peak (8,299 ft and pronounced like "grand-er") is one of the high points in Millcreek Canyon and offers fantastic views of the SLC Valley and into Parley's Canyon.

Timp Falls (also known as First Falls) is the, well, the first waterfall along the Aspen Grove Trail, a popular route to the Mt. Timpanogos summit. After we hiked Stewart Falls, we headed over to this trail since it starts from the same parking lot.
Hiking to Kyhv Peak (formerly known as Squaw Peak until September 2022) leads you up Rock Canyon in Provo, Utah overlooking BYU, Utah County, and Utah Lake at an elevation of 7,859 ft. You can read about why the name was changed here.
Funnel Arch (aka Cable Arch) is a short, yet rewarding hike to a massive arch located only 15 minutes from Moab, UT. Compared to the nearby Corona Arch, you'll likely see any people at this arch since it's not as well know and there's no trail sign. However, this arch is just as good, or even better, than Corona Arch. Getting to Funnel Arch does require one small section of a scramble (class 2), so I advise not bringing dogs or kids. Funnel Arch is a popular area for people to practice rappelling skills (see short video here), if you have the gear and experience.
Bridal Veil Falls is located in Provo Canyon - you can't miss if you've ever driven through the canyon.
