The Living Room trail is a must-do hike located right in the heart of downtown with a beautiful overlook of Salt Lake City.

This popular, well-trafficked hike is perfect for anyone looking to get outdoors but that still wants to remain close to the city. Its infamous name comes from the red rock "couches" & "chairs" that can be found at the end of the hike, where you can sit and enjoy a snack or beverage while overlooking the city. Located in the foothills of Salt Lake, right above The Natural History Museum of Utah, The Living Room Hike is a must-try hike for anyone visiting! It is an out-and-back trail that will take you approximately 1.5-3 hours hiking time, and is doable for any level hiker.

**Author’s recommendation**  
If you're feeling adventurous, bring a headlight and head up to watch sunset from the best living room in town!

**Tips and suggestions**  
It can be incredibly hot in the summer months to hike this trail as there is direct sunlight and no cool canyon air. Be on the lookout for rattlesnakes and other wildlife, and always keep your distance from the animals. Ideal times to hike are spring or fall. If you enjoy winter hiking, it is a great trail to experience (you may even get lucky and see moose during less crowded winter months)

A short loop trail hike that, while not terribly difficult, has trail sections that will get your heart pumping and your legs burning.

A pretty hike with some spectacular views, this trail will take you to a pointy peak that is named after Jack Edwards, a young toddler who passed away from leukemia in 1995. His parents created a memorial at the top with mailboxes containing notebooks for visitors to write in, and the peak is also known as Jack's Mountain or Jack's Mailbox Peak. The hike is short and pretty consistently steep in places, with very little to no shade. The views are worth every step.

**Local's recommendation:** Probably best hiked in spring or fall. Summer is good, but recommended to go early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the hottest temperatures of the day, as there is very little shade.

**Details**

**Difficulty:** Moderate due to steep sections

**Highest point:** 6260 ft

**Lowest point:** 5164 ft

**Best time of year:** Spring and Fall, if going in Summer start early to avoid the heat since there is no shade

**Safety information:** As with any trail in the foothills, watch for rattlesnakes, especially in summer months. Wear closed-toed shoes when hiking, be aware of your surroundings, and always look carefully before placing hands or feet. Be sure to bring plenty of water. This is a steep trail, so a walking pole can be helpful.

**Roadbook**

From the trailhead, get on to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail and head northwest. When the trail rounds the hill and heads more north, a smaller off shoot will appear on the right and head upwards toward the "H" rock on the mountain. From there, follow the trail to the top.

- Start point - 1835 Carrigan Canyon Dr, Salt Lake City, UT 84109 - 0 mi

Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.
