Parley's Historic Nature Park Trail Loop Reviews
People are supposed to clean up after their dogs but the entrance and first quarter mile really stinks of dog poop from irresponsible owners. There are mostly off leash dog trails. Protected areas that are restricted but dogs running around in them despite the signs. Multiple trails Dead end creek Overall pleasant even without a dog

Grandeur Peak West Face
Are you planning a big adventure and need a boost getting ready for it? You came to the right place. This is my go-to when I’m preparing to climb a big mountain. It’s hard to find a steeper trail in the area (that’s not a game trail), and the West Face is usually free of snow early in the season.
The hike is 4.6 miles round-trip with an elevation gain of 3,200 feet. Park in the lot at the nort...
Hike Jacks Mountain
Named for a toddler who died of Lukemia in 1995, Jacks Mountain is a beautiful place to sit above the valley and contemplate mortality. On the peak, you’ll find a couple mailboxes containing heartfelt notes from hundreds of hikers throughout the years. It’s the kind of place that restores your faith in humanity.
The trail is steep but well worth it, climbing one of the prominent foothills above...
Cycle Big Mountain
The views from the top of Big Mountain are breathtaking. From the Salt Lake - Morgan County border at about 7,400 ft, you will look down East Canyon, and over the top of Parley's Canyon into the Salt Lake Valley. Big Mountain can be ridden alone or as an extension to the Emigration Canyon Ride.From the parking lot just east of the Zoo (4,940 ft) to Little Mountain Summit at the top of Emigratio...
Bike Emigration Canyon
If you're looking for a fun climb on your road bike that won't kill you, or you are trying to find a place to train for some bigger climbing, Emigration is the perfect place to ride. The elevation gain is gradual, allowing you to grind it out for a great training ride, or spin steadily to the top of the canyon for some incredible views.From the parking lot just east of the Zoo to Little Mountai...
Hike Mt. Aire
Mount Aire, standing around 8600 ft, certainly isn't the most inspiring peak in or around Salt Lake City, but to me it serves as a quick summit to catch the sunset when I'm short on time.Getting There:Start by heading up Mill Creek Canyon Rd. After passing the ranger booth, drive about 5.5 miles up the canyon. Mount Aire TH is on the left with ample parking. The Hike:It starts out fairly gradua...
Climb West Slabs of Mount Olympus
Park at the top of Thousand Oaks Drive, and make your way to the dirt path heading east. It will be a well maintained, well-covered single dirt track which takes you to the base of a really impressive couloir. Follow the trail until you reach the couloir / rocky gully. You will then see the West Slabs. Depending on the time you go, there may or may not be snow at the base. I went in the middle ...
