Hi, I'm heading over to Salt Lake City in late March and I'd like to go out to do some hikes with my wife near SLC.

What are some day-hike options that are within 2 hours drive of SLC, not too difficult and has great views? We have all the winter hiking gears.

Thanks,
Alex

I don't reside in Utah, but I was up there during the Holidays attending a funeral service.

Here's my top four for that particular area ...

(1) Antelope Island
(2) Stansbury Island
(3) Big Beacon - Mt. Wire
(4) Mt. Olympus

If you have winter hiking gear, the scenery on the route to Red Pine Lake is hard to beat that time of year.

The above 4 are pretty good as well.

thank you, lcarreau and Scott!

Moderate Peaks really close to SLC for moderate hikers...I recommend in order of difficulty: Granduer (easiest), Mt. Aire and Gobbler's Knob. All of those are a couple of hours, non-technical and have great views. In March they will all have snow.

For non-snow hikes in March, try Meridian via Ensign or ones on Antelope Island...both of those areas are treeless, non-technical, and have great veiws of the Wasatch front.

We went to Frary Peak at the Antelope island, it was a wonderful experience for me and my wife!!! 2hrs round trip and the views were unbelievable! Thank you so much for your help, guys!

I'd cast another vote for Mount Olympus. Easy access. Amazing views.
