A wonderful family hike to beautiful alpine lake in the Little Cottonwood Canyons Albion Basin
This is a very short 1 mile hike to a beautiful alpine lake in the Albion Basin region near Alta and Snowbird Ski Resorts. This area is very popular on summer weekends so parking may be difficult. Take the time to relax at the lake and take lots of photos of your family with the mountains as a backdrop.
Beautiful and rather easy hike going up to eventually see a nice strong waterfall (during spring).
A very nice hike into Waterfall Canyon. This is a pretty easy hike for the most part. I know that kids and such are able to make it up rather easily. As long as you go during the spring you'll get an awesome view of the waterfall at the end of the trail as well as a rather nice, albeit slim view of the city down below.

Doughnut falls is an easy hike for both old and young. I took my entire extended family including young kids, 2 pregnant ladies (one was my wife). My 2 year old son walked the hike by himself. Needless to say this is a fairly short hike. You can easily be up and back within 1.5 hours. The hike gains very little elevation. Right before you reach the falls there is a couple of rocks...

I wanted to go on a couple of backpack trips again this summer so I need to start getting in better shape. I thought I picked a fairly easy hike, but this hike was much harder then I anticipated. It was uphill the entire way.I went with Jeff Wood (friend) and Ben Pehrson (brother). From the beginning my back was out of place (which rarely happens to me) luckily Ben carried my small pack...

Climb per mile: 766ftAscent Rating: 1.4Distance Rating: 1.1Overall Rating: 3.2The GPS data has correct elevation data for all points except the starting elevation, so it is over-reporting the climb.I recorded the trip in 3 separate tracks and merged them together, but EveryTrail is reporting the length .6 miles over for some reason.This isn't the furthest I've gone on this trail, but it is the first time this year that I'd not encountered...

The trail/gps track for this trip is extremely accurate, although I did lose the elevation data.

Lone Peak is the "notched" peak at the top of the huge mountain on the south side of the road as your traveling up Little Cottonwood canyon. The peak is visible from most of the Salt Lake and Utah County areas. All approaches to the peak are long with substantial elevation gain. My son (Tyler) and I decided a couple weeks previous that we were going to do the hike. A friend...
Climb per mile: 885ftAscent Rating: 2.3Distance Rating: 1.6Overall Rating: 4.7Since I didn't have much time for a hike, I figured the Desolation to the Overlook would fit just right. It was my first time on this trail actually.. or at least this section of it.It was a pretty consistent climb all the way, and the seemingly endless switchbacks were balanced out by all the shade and a well-established trail.It was a good...

Climb per mile: 900ftAscent Rating: 3.6Distance Rating: 2.4Overall Rating: 7.0Lake Blanche is another one I hadn't done before, so when a friend of mine suggested we hike up and camp overnight, I took him up on it right away. It was a hard hike, especially with 60 lbs of gear on my back. But it wasn't unbearable by any means. It gets steeper toward the very top when you get to the switchbacks,...

We were a little hesitant when pulling into the parking lot at the top of Millcreek canyon, for the dark storm clouds were gathering overhead quite rapidly.Indeed, about 45 minutes into the hike, the raindrops began. We had our ponchos though, and we pressed on.Soon enough though, the storm got very serious with high winds, loud thunder and lightning all around us, and drenching rain. We almost turned back but we were...

The Dog Lake trailhead is located at the Mill D North Fork trailhead about 9 miles up Big Cottonwood Canyon. It is an easy trail to follow and although there was still some small snow banks along the the trail towards the top the trail was completely dry and easy to navigate. I forgot my Etrex Vista HCx so these tracks are from my sister's (Julia) Garmin Forerunner 305. I would have had the track going back down the...
From Alpine Grove to Timpooneke Campground via Emerald Lakes, Timpanogos saddle.HIGHLIGHTS: Fall colors of beech and aspen forests, Emerald Lakes, Mt. Timpanogos peak, saddle and glacier, amazing vistas of Twin Peaks, Mt. Baldy and High Uintas region, Provo and Utah Lake as never seen before, cleverly created hiking trails
A great early-in-the-year hike. Much of the hike is exposed, so the snow tends to melt earlier than on other trails, although in May, there will often be snow still in the canyon. Hiked this with my 5 year old son.
