Red Butte Garden and Arboretum - Utah's Botanical Garden

A steep, less-trafficked hike that makes for a great workout with an expansive view as a payoff at the end.

The Parley's Canyon Overlook Trailhead is relatively new, and many of the branching trails that start here are also new. The overlook is a minor peak that takes in views of the Salt Lake Valley to the west and Parley's Canyon to the east and south, and it can be reached by multiple routes. There are two main ridgeline routes and a third that follows a ravine between the other two, and many smaller trails, tracks, and deer paths that head up and around the mountain. The best track is to follow straight up one of the ridges. Short and steep, this is a good way to get the heart pumping. With a little more distance, can be combined with the Jack's Peak Trail for a 5 mile loop.

**Local's Recommendation:**This trail is quite steep and there is little shade cover, so this is best in spring or fall. Can be hiked in the winter with proper weather gear.

**Details**

**Difficulty:** Difficult - steep sections with technical hiking to follow trails

**Highest point:** 6289 ft

**Lowest point:** 5157 ft

**Best time of year:** Spring, Summer, Fall. Winter needs proper gear.

**Safety information:** As with any trail in the foothills, watch for rattlesnakes, especially in summer months. Wear appropriate footwear when hiking, be aware of your surroundings, and always look carefully before placing hands or feet. Be sure to stay hydrated.

**Roadbook**

Starting at the trailhead, follow the trail northeast from the parking area immediately follow the bend that turns right and up a small hill. At the top of the hill, turn left heading up the ridgeline. Follow the ridgeline to the peak overlooking the valley and the canyon.

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.
