One of the best views of the Salt Lake Valley 😍 Bonus: It’s a short hike!!
Dog Friendly Hike to Key Landmark in SLC!
📍Ensign Peak Trail
1 mile RT
375 ft elevation gain
Rated: Moderate
Dog must be leashed
Pick up after your dog and carry it out 💩
Flowers are starting to bloom along the trail! 🌼
It’s a short, but a steep and steady climb.
This is an exposed trail with no shade so plan accordingly!
It connects to other trails so you can make it a longer hike if you want.
HIGHLY recommend going at sunrise! This is a very popular trail and is crowded through out the day and during sunset. We had the overlook to ourselves at sunrise.

We love going to Tanner Park on our rest days so that Oreo can run off all of her energy!
📍Tanner Dog Park
(Parley’s Historic Nature Park)
2660 E Heritage Way
Salt Lake City
Offers a huge off-leash area for dogs to run and play with multiple water access points for cooling off
This is a SUPER popular SLC dog park so expect to see a lot of other dogs! Great way to meet other dog owners! 🐶
You can do the Parley’s Historic Nature Park Trail Loop which takes you to Parley’s Trail (on-leash). This trail is heavily trafficked by bicycles so make sure you’re paying attention!

This trail is one of the most popular trails in Davis County for good reason!
📍Adams Canyon
Layton (25 min from SLC)
3.6 miles RT
1,450 ft elevation gain
Rated: Hard
Pick up your dogs 💩 and carry it out!
This is a leashed trail (we were the only ones with a leashed dog so keep that in mind!)
This is a popular trail so definitely try to hit it early in the morning. We started about 30 min before sunrise.
Even though it’s shaded a lot of the way, it still gets hot! There are switchbacks at the beginning of trail and the sand can become very hot, especially in the summer! Make sure your dogs paws are protected!

Can we talk about how cute Oreo looks when she hikes off leash?
📍Salt Lake Overlook via Desolation Trail
Millcreek Canyon
5 miles RT
1300 ft elevation gain
Rated: Moderate
Off leash on odd days
Flowers are starting to bloom! 🌼🪻
This trail never gets old! I love how close it is to us. We are so lucky to be so close to so many amazing trails in this beautiful state!
Make sure your dog has a good recall when going on off leash days! We are lucky that Oreo loves to constantly check in with us but are working on how excited she gets when there are other dogs on the trail. She’s getting better but stilll has some work to do!

It was never just a dog. An ode to the best friends we've loved and lost overlooking Little Cottonwood Canyon. ❤️🩹
I'm not going to publicly post coordinates, because it's unclear if this is private or public property, but it felt right to leave a marker for the dog who built Dog Friendly SLC. 💛
This doesn't feel like "CITY-LIFE"

This video does not do this trail justice. Here are some clips of the hike so you know what to expect! This trail was absolutely stunning! Steep in some parts but it was really cool hiking along the ridgeline at the top.
📍Crimson Trail Loop
Logan Canyon
4.6 miles RT
Elevation gain: 1,300 ft
Rated: Hard
Dog friendly 🐶
Dogs must be on leash!

We hiked this after hiking to the wind caves. There are two different trailheads. One is located across from the wind caves and one located a mile down the road.
We started at the Spring Hollow Campground (the trailhead down the road) and hiked the loop clockwise. It seemed like more people were hiking it counter clockwise but I personally would rather go up the steep parts vs down them due to my knees 😬
This isn’t an easy trail! Someone on the trail told us they would never take their dog on this trail. This was Oreo’s second trail of the day. You know you’re dog and what they are capable of. If you’re dog can’t handle hard hikes, don’t take them on this one!
Bring a lot of water and start early! We started around 8 and I wouldn’t do it any later ESPECIALLY in the summer because of how hot it got!
We took a few wrong turns and ended up hiking about 5.35 miles with a 1500 ft elevation gain. Not a lot of service so make sure you have the trail downloaded.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a more challenging trail.
🚧 🦺 They are doing construction up Logan Canyon so be prepared to wait and add ten minutes to your drive to be safe.

🔽 MORE INFO BELOW
🚗 Street parking on Canyon Road. Hope you can parallel park because it gets crowded at peak hours!
🐕🦺 On-Leash vs Off-Leash: If you see lawn, leash up. The off-leash section is only in the Freedom Trail in the back.
🚨 the trail is UNFENCED. If your dog can't be trusted (like Chip) a long-lead or e-collar will be your friend. Be aware you will encounter mostly off-leash dogs.
