There's plenty of tree cover and it's gorgeous in all seasons. It's perfect right now with the Fall colors. Very gentle incline, great for various ages and abilities. Plenty of street parking, and though it may look busy, many people are only here for picnicking and picture taking near the trailhead. Watch out for mountain bikers here if you're hiking!

It's about 7 miles round trip, but very doable! The terrain is pretty flat with bumps from rocks…read morebut nothing to be concerned about. There are tons of mountain bikers going up and down on these narrow trails. Hikers do have the right of way, but it's courteous to stand on the side to let them slide by. Changing colors are beautiful on this hike! Reminds me that fall is still here, but winter is coming. There were a couple of spots where there was snow, and some places where it was recently melted causing mud. Dogs are allowed on a leash and please pick up after your pups. Once you get to the end of the trail, elephant rock or big rock, there is another path that continues going up! Luckily there are benches to rest your tired feet at the end. I didn't go down to the rock since it was a steep drop, but there are some dare devils that did it.

There's plenty of street parking available for people wanting to simply hike on the trail. If you venture in to the national park area, where there are picnic sites; the cost is $8. There is a small river (usually low enough that I feel comfortable letting my kids wade in it) at the trailhead. The Mueller Park Trail is open to hikers, bikers, and horseback riders. The trail is well-groomed. And it's not too difficult. I mean, my two-year-old doesn't have much of a problem navigating it... It's the ideal place for my young family to go & be in the great outdoors. The trail is wide enough, that it doesn't inconvenience anyone when a mountain biker needs to pass a hiker. The scenery is breathtaking. I believe it's 13 miles to the top of the trail. Maybe someday we'll get there? These days, the most my kid's little legs can take is 2 miles. For now, though, the Mueller Park trail is the perfect afternoon excursion.

Short 2.0 mile out and back single track multi use trail with a 341 elevation gain…read more You can continue on up the canyon to the Ensign peak overlook for a 180 degree look of the valley. Or you can continue up the mountain where the trail will split so that you can either hike the BST, or hike over to the City Creek Trail that is closer to Memory Grove Park. I just hiked up to the overlook today and I was able to clock in 7.4 miles. The overlook has great views of Salt Lake City, Great Salt Lake, and the mountains. It gets very hot (as do all trails in this area) and has no shade. Wildflowers galore, and they are in full bloom right now if you like hiking trails with flowers. Be careful of the bees. **Info for mountain bikers: This is a narrow piece of singletrack with very tight switchbacks. Some loose baseball-sized rocks, tight corners, and rocky steps make this a challenging climb ending at the foot of Crag's Trail. Per the Salt Lake City Foothills Trail System Master Plan, this trail is rated as Black Diamond and is only open to all uphill users, with downhill bikes prohibited. (Lots of bikers going downhill today. Not cool) Of course there are always rule breakers as the case today. Trail is narrow so hard to find a place to pull off the trail, luckily it wasn't crowded today. Dogs are allowed on trail if leashed. Please pick up your doggy bags and throw them away. *No restrooms **Limited parking #leavenotrace

One of the many parks in Salt Lake City, located not too far from the Capitol building. It was busy…read morewith people and lots of dogs (all getting along and having fun). A stream cuts through the park, creating a relaxing and peaceful space. There are several displays that commemorate the spirit of freedom and liberty in our country. The installations invite you to reflect on these foundational ideas. Some of the installations were in disrepair and could benefit from some TLC. Still, it's worth a visit.

I love memory grove park! I come here at least once a week to walk my dog on the off leash trails!…read moreIt's a nice park to sit at and have a picnic by the stream! I also love that this park has trail access to so many other trails in the area! Parking can be hard to find depending on the day. It's usually fairly busy but mornings and afternoons are the best time to go if you want something more chill.

I would suggest coming in the evening to get some fabulous pictures of the awesome sunsets. Trail is wide enough to social distance and everyone I passed followed this requirement. Trail has some beautiful panoramic views of the city. I didn't see any snakes today, but was told they are in the area just keep an eye out.

Rated as a moderate trail with an elevation of 6321 feet which is doable in a short amount of time if you don't take the wrong trail like I did..a couple of times. Trail is not marked very well. Shout out to my trail app that showed me which trail I need to be on in order to make it up to the top. Because it was so hot the trail was dry and dusty. I found myself slipping several times. Trails are also shared with bikers. Lots of dogs walking with their owners off leash, even though there was a sign that says to keep your dogs on a leash.

Pretty good outfit. We decided to take our kids on a 4-wheeling adventure over the long holiday. We…read morecalled a couple of other rental outfitters and Peak was less expensive. Other places charge five dollars for helmet rental, $50 for early pick up or late drop off and or overnight fee. Peak offers free helmet rentals. They also had a much better return policy allowing us to return the equipment the next morning. We rented a Kawasaki Teryx which seats 5 which I was able to pull with my 4.7 liter Tundra. When we got to the yard the equipment was on the trailer (which is included in the rental) with tie-downs looking ready to go. There was a little bit of a snafu locating the key and making sure the oil level was good. Turns out the previous renter had dropped it off just that morning and the machine had not yet been checked out for damage by the time we were to take it and go. Jeff the mechanic checked it out before we left, so we hooked it up and away we went. I had asked Miles where we might go and he recommended the Skyline Wasatch trail which is pretty close-by. We started at the Bountiful "B" and headed north toward Farmington Canyon. My wife drove the whole day with a smile on her face. The kids had a blast. It was a nice day and as we got higher in elevation the kids started getting cold. Great problem to have on a 90° plus summer day. We got to the Apex where we could see the Weather Station on top of the mountain separating Morgan/Davis counties. That is where the trail starts heading down toward Farmington Canyon trailhead. Lo and behold the trail on the north side of the summit was blocked by snow! July 5th and the snow was still a factor. It was awesome. We had a great time playing in the snow and snapping photos for the album. My only concerns were these: the equipment not having been checked out at check-out and we did not receive any signed paperwork when we turned-in the equipment. That made me wonder if I would have to go through the "getting charged for damage we didn't do" wringer. Also the gas gauge on our OHV seemed to be a bit wonky. That gave us a little bit of anxiety. Peak Adventure staff (Miles and Jeff) were very helpful and accommodating.

Very cool guys. Totally helpful and great equipment too!read more
