A moderately difficult trail that is family- and dog-friendly, features a nearby river, and has both a natural trail and a paved trail that parallel each other.

A quick and easy way to get out of the city and into the mountains, City Creek Canyon Trail is the closest canyon hike to downtown and is easy to access by foot or by car. The paved part of the trail is a road open to pedestrians, bicycles on odd-numbered days, and motor vehicles on even-numbered days. The natural trail is restricted to only hikers. It is an easy trail - it is only rated moderate due to the gain in elevation. There are also many other trails that split off from this trail, mostly at the trailhead.

**Local's recommendation:** Be sure to follow the multiple use guidelines posted at the gate. This is a good year-round walk, but can be slippery on the road in colder months.

**Difficulty:** Moderate due to elevation gain

**Highest point:** 5262 ft

**Lowest point:** 4652 ft

**Best time of year:** Year round

**Safety information:** If you're walking the paved section, be sure to always stay on the creek side of the road to avoid bicycle traffic, always leash your dog, and don't bring pets past the 2.5 mile marker. All the guidelines to stay safe while sharing the road are posted at the gate 3/10ths of a mile past the trailhead.

**Roadbook**

The paved section is easy enough to follow. To get on the natural trail, multiple access points exist along the road, but the first one is at the junction of City Creek Canyon Road and Bonneville Boulevard where you can park your car. A trail heads up the hill to the west right behind the City Creek Canyon sign, and the first trail turning off and going north, parallel to the City Creek Canyon Road, will take you up the canyon.

- Start point - City Creek Canyon Rd, Salt Lake City, UT 84103 - 0 mi
- Highest point, 5262 ft - 3.3 mi
- Lowest point, 4649 ft - 6.4 mi
- 3 mile marker - Destination - 6.5 mi

**How to Get There**

**Public transport:** Bus routes do not travel up to this trailhead - best access is by car.

**Parking:** There is free parking both at the trailhead (limited) and also at the gate 3/10ths of a mile from the trailhead.

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.

- Lowest point, 5161 ft - 0.3 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.
