Big Cottonwood Canyon has some pretty hikes! We went & did Stairs Gulch Trail & Mill B South Trail! Stairs Gulch was a little steep, but not too bad! We saw 2 snakes on the trail. Still some snow & lots of water when we went (end of April 2020)
Mill B South is a super easy hike/walk by a pretty river & there is a waterfall at the end.
