Your Dog's Favorite Hikes In Utah

Submitted by Carol & Tramp
The Fisher Tower Trail east of Moab was made famous in old movie Westerns. The trail is three miles long but ends for most dogs after about two miles whne you have to climb a ladder over a rock. The trail dips in and around and under the massive towers and is alot of fun.

Jake toured the Bonneville Salt Flats - and the salt sticks to their feet...you need to clean it off so it won't burn...there are no signs there telling you this.

Our yorkie-scottie mix is a little dog with big energy... she LOVES going out to Saltair (just north of Tooele on I-80), where dogs are allowed, seemingly off-leash, in the Great Salt Lake, on the beach, and in the old Saltair night club building (on-leash only inside). It's less busy than the Bonneville Salt Flats, and the beach is made from much softer and less salty sand.

Hi - here's a good trail just north of Salt Lake City:
Adams Canyon Trail (Kaysville, Davis Co. Utah)

This seems like it's too far away, but it's only 30-35 min. from downtown SLC, which is about the same distance as the top of Mill Creek. The bonus: you can take your dog AND there's water after the first 15 min. of hiking ­ oh, and a great waterfall at the top with a pool at the bottom that your dog can splash around in! The round-trip hike, with a few dog-watering stops and a break at the top, takes about 2 ? hours. You could probably do it in 2 if you were really moving. . It's super-shady once you hit the creek, and even at high noon on a 100-degree day, it was pretty cool. There's still a ton of water there.

My friend and I were excited to find that once you cross the shoreline trail and head up the canyon, the trail follows a big creek all the way to the main waterfall. From the parking lot, take the sandy trail just north of the reservoir (there's only one option). The first 10-15 min. of hiking was very sandy, and although it was ok for the dogs when we started around 10:30, our return around 12:30 nearly burned their paws off ­ either go earlier/later, bring enough water to cool your dog's paws, or if you have those little snow booties, they might help protect them from hot sand. The sand stops once the trail levels off for the first time.

After 10-15 min. you'll see the Shoreline trail branch off to the left (north) ­ don't follow this; stay straight/right to head up the canyon. You'll then get to a right-hand branch that crosses a small bridge ­ this is the first water spot for dogs, but don't cross the bridge ­ this will send you southbound on the Shoreline trail. Continue east into the canyon (follow the creek). In some places, the trail is a little hard to follow, but just look around for options if it looks like you've lost it. The waterfall is great ­ 100+ feet high, and it comes down into a shallow pool. There's a little bank where you can sit and have a snack, and cool off with the spray from the falls.

To get there:

Travel north from Salt Lake City on Highway 89 (you might have to get on and off the highway, but stay on 89 wherever you can) and, once you get to Kaysville/Fruitland area, take the first right past Oakhills Road (Layton City Water Tank), which is Eastside Road. Take an immediate right (south) on the frontage road. Keep a sharp eye out ­ the road signs on 89 are hard to see. Park at the end of pavement in a dirt parking lot at fenced off reservoir. Trail starts on north side of the reservoir. This trail has good access to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.

From Jake and Kristin
We loved going to Millcreek Canyon up to Dog Lake during the summer. There are two ways to get to the top: a slightly steeper and shorter version or a more mild longer version. The more mild version has water along the way and both versions are rewarded at the top with a huge lake for dogs to play! Have your sticks, lunches and mosquito repellent and remember Millcreek is OK for off-leash on odd days :)
