Hiking to Willow Heights Lake

Hiking

Hiking to Willow Heights Lake, Big Cottonwood Canyon, Utah, Kid friendly Trails in Salt Lake City

Willow Heights Lake is a popular destination year-round in Big Cottonwood Canyon for families looking for a short hike with the kids, for backcountry skiers in Winter, and for me, what I call a "bonus hike". A bonus hike is a super short hike that I will do after another longer hike in the area. In this case I just hiked the Mt. Wolverine Cirque to Brighton Lakes (8 miles), and wanted to see Willow Heights at the height of Fall.

Hiking the Wolverine Cirque to Brighton Lakes (Loop)

Hiking Mt. Wolverine & the Wolverine Cirque Loop Above Brighton Ski Resort

Mt. Wolverine and the Wolverine Cirque, located above Brighton Ski Resort in Utah's Big Cottonwood Canyon, are best known as a popular winter backcountry skiing destination. But in summer and fall, this scenic area transforms into one of the most rewarding alpine loop hikes in the Wasatch Mountains. Even better, if you're a peak bagger, this route offers the chance to summit up to six peaks in a single day!

Hiking to Mt. Peale & Mt. Tukuhnikivatz

Hiking to Mt. Peale & Mt. Tukuhnikivatz, Utah Ultra Prominence Peaks

Hiking Mt. Peale and Mt. Tukuhnikivatz – La Sal Mountains, Utah

Mt. Peale (12,721 ft) and Mt. Tukuhnikivatz (12,482 ft) are two iconic peaks in the La Sal Mountains, located just outside Moab, Utah. Mt. Peale is the highest peak in the La Sal range and the second most prominent mountain in Utah. Pronounced tuk-oon-ik-ah-vatz—i, Mt. Tukuhnikivatz is the striking summit you see from Moab’s valley floor. It also holds a place in literary fame, featured in Edward Abbey’s classic Desert Solitaire.

If you’ve lived in Utah, passed through Moab, or want to understand the raw beauty of Arches National Park before it became a tourist hub, reading Desert Solitaire is highly recommended.

Hiking to Cecret Lake & Sugarloaf Peak

Hiking

Hiking to Cecret Lake & Sugarloaf Peak

Cecret Lake (yes, that is the correct spelling) is a beautiful alpine lake that sits in the heart of Alta Ski Resort. This easy 1 mile walk is great for kids, taking photos of the amazing wildflowers in July, and possibly sighting a moose. But why stop at the lake, when you can continue just one more mile and summit Sugarloaf Peak? The elevation of Sugarloaf Peak is 11,051 ft, and can be summited in under an hour and half. Bring a light jacket though - it gets really windy and can be quite cold at the top. Keep in mind that the Albion Basin Road is only open from July 4th until the last week of September (or whenever the first snow hits).

Gorgoza Dog Park

Gorgoza Dog Park, Kimball Junction, Utah, Hiking in Utah with Dogs

Gorgoza Dog Park is a great place to take your dogs in the summer in Kimball Junction, UT. The reservoir is perfect for throwing your pup water toys. Dogs are allowed off leash here, and as always, dog poop must be picked up. In the Winter time, Gorgoza turns into a Winter sledding hill, and the pond is not available for swimming.

Hiking to Shadow Lake via Guardsmans Pass

Hiking

Hiking to Shadow Lake via Guardsmans Pass

Shadow Lake is located in Park City Mountain Resort (or PCMR as us locals know it), and can be access from the ski resort, or for a shorter route, via Guardsmans Pass. Shadow Lake sits in a bowl-like area, surrounding by pine trees and mountains. This is a popular area for mountain bikers. Hiking to Shadow Lake via Guardsmans Pass will offer a relief from the heat during summer months, and get you out of the valley smog/haze.

Hiking to American Fork Twin Peaks

Hiking

Hiking to American Fork Twin Peaks

Hiking to the American Fork Twin Peaks (11,490 ft), is not for the beginner hiker. Not to be confused with the other twin peaks in the valley, Broads Fork Twin Peaks and The Avenues Twin Peaks, this route leads hikers across a long knife edge with a very faint trail. Do not attempt this hike if you've never crossed a very narrow, rocky ridgeline before - it takes a little route finding, skill, no fear of heights, and requires some light scrambling. Gloves are helpful for this hike, providing extra grip and protection from the sharp rocks.

Hiking the Red Cloud Trail, Deer Valley Ski Resort

Hiking

Hiking the Red Cloud Trail, Deer Valley Ski Resort

Hiking the Red Cloud Trail at Deer Valley Ski Resort is a very scenic hikers-only trail that begins at the Silver Lake Village, at an elevation of 8,100 ft. Many people do not know that anyone can hike at Deer Valley for free! You don't have to be a member or have to have a "friend of a friend" to be able to visit and hike on the mountain during the Summer months. If fact, you can hike to any peak or on any trail, and ride the chair lift down for free. This hike was apart of the free guided monthly Deer Valley History Hike.

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.

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.
