Two weeks ago we parked at the City Creek Center, and then walked over to memory grove and up a trail next to the real City Creek. There were lots of people walking there, and there were several little benches and little developed areas to rest.
Lisette joined us for this one. We liked this hike, but with reservations. It was cool that you can walk from the heart of downtown and be in nature in less than a mile, but there were too many people to feel we were totally immersed in nature.
Miles wore appropriate sun protection.
We hiked out of the little canyon and had a great view of downtown and the capitol building.
We ended up "hiking" down residential streets, just a block away from LDS hospital. We enjoyed the varied architecture of the old houses though. We hiked 4 miles round trip and had a respectable elevation gain.
