This weekend I wanted to get out and enjoy the fall colors. Being fairly new to Salt Lake, I don't know many of the trails and secret hiking spots (I know Cache Valley like the back of my hand!). I wanted a fairly short hike for a Sunday afternoon, and also wanted to start familiarizing myself with hikes I can take my step kids on.
Donut Falls seemed like the perfect option. The hike starts out about 9 miles up Big Cottonwood Canyon across from the Mill D Trailhead. It is about 3/4 miles each way. A bit steep in some places, but not too bad. I saw people of all ages and sizes on the trail. The trail ends at a beautiful waterfall cascading through a hole in the rock, hence Donut Falls.
This would be a great hike to take kids or older folks. Get out an enjoy Utah!
Do you have any kid friendly hikes to recommend?

Love Donut Falls! Another great hike that's pretty easy for kids is the Lake Solitude trail off of Silver Lake, also in Big Cottonwood Canyon. It's just 1 1/4 miles long one-way and only climbs about 750 feet. It's THE best golden aspen viewing on foot, in my opinion. My husband and I just hiked it last weekend for his birthday and it was beautimous!
