Salt Lake City - Hiking

Below are hikes for the area you selected.

To select another area to hike in Salt Lake City, select Salt Lake City Hiking Trails.

Alexander Basin Trail		Intermediate	3.1 miles roundtrip	2 hours

	The trail to Alexander Basin climbs a very steep slope before flattening out at a nice view over glacier carved Alexander Basin.

Avenues Twin Peaks from Perry's Hollow	Easy	2.2 mile roundtrip	1-1/4 hours

Big Black Mountain from Mueller Park	Intermediate	9.6 mile roundtrip	4-1/2 to 5 hours

Big Water (to Dog Lake)		Easy	4.5 miles roundtrip	2-3 hours

	Big Water Trail runs through pleasant forests to a junction with Desolation Trail near popular Dog Lake. The trail is very popular with mountain bikers, though bikes are prohibited on odd numbered days. The trailhead is at the end of the Mill Creek drive.

Bowman Fork		Intermediate	8 miles roundtrip	4-5 hours

	The trail climbs gradually at first through heavy forest and then more steeply up open slopes and a pleasant gully to Baker Pass overlooking Big Cottonwood Canyon.

Brighton Lakes (to Lake Catherine)	Intermediate	4 mile roundtrip	2 hours

Brighton Lakes (to Lake Martha)	Easy	2.5 miles roundtrip	1-1/2 hours

Brighton Lakes (to Sunset Peak)	Intermediate	5.5 miles roundtrip	3 hours

Burch Hollow		Difficult	2.8 mile oneway	2 hours

	The trail ascends a drainage area past wonderful limestone outcroppings to a ridge overlooking Mt. Aire Canyon, an area of private homes. The trail starts from the Pipeline Trail.

Cardiff Fork to Cardiff Pass (Mill D South)	Intermediate	7 miles roundtrip	4 hours

Catherine Pass from Albion Basin	Easy	2.1 mile roundtrip	1 hour

Desolation Lake		Intermediate	7.3 mile roundtrip	3 to 3-1/2 hours

	Desolation Lake is a popular destination for mountain bikers, so you are bound to see a few of them on this hike. But don’t expect all of them to be riding-there is a 2,000-foot elevation gain from the trailhead to the lake, and riding a bike uphill is much harder than walking.

Desolation Trail (to Salt Lake Overlook)	Intermediate	3.5 miles roundtrip	2 hours

Dog Lake (from Butler Fork)		Easy	5 mile roundtrip	2-3 hours

	The prettiest part of the Dog Lake loop is probably the first two miles of the hike, along Butler Fork. Butler Fork meanders northward through a narrow canyon filled with dense groves of quaking aspen, eventually emerging into a more open forest of Engelmann spruce and Douglas fir along the ridge above Mill Creek Canyon.

Elbow Fork		Easy	5 miles roundtrip	2-3 hours

	This relatively flat trail runs parallel to the road at low altitudes. It is well shaded and provides some good views of Mill Creek Canyon.

Germania Pass (from Cecret Lake Trail Head)	Intermediate	3.5 miles roundtrip	2-3 hours
