Please note, there are SOOO many awesome trails in Utah, this list doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface!! And please, if you take your pets hiking, be sure to have water & food for them & keep them on a leash. We have seen way too many lost dog signs & unprepared owners scrambling to get their dogs water. (I carry an extra water bottle & water bowl in my backpack in case I can help someone.) And please, pick up after them.
