About this episode
There’s lots of talk about how close the mountains are to Salt Lake City, but how many of us are really taking advantage of nearby trailheads? Prolific hiker Brandon Miller hiked 54 trails in 54 days, and he tells host Ali Vallarta the best local hikes for any occasion — from dog-afraid to dog-friendly, or with a 7-year-old in tow. Plus, we offer a few overnight hike suggestions, for the backpacking-curious. Here’s a list of the trails we mentioned in this episode: Donut Falls Trail Dog Lake Lake Blanche Trail Cecret Lake Trail Lisa Falls Trail Frary Peak Trail Mt. Timpanogos Lower Red Castle Lake Avenue Twin Peaks Mount Olympus Trail Provide feedback on the DWR’s proposed changes to spearfishing. Subscribe to our daily morning newsletter .
