About This Trail

Imported description
The trail is easy and enjoyable, and it has great views of the Salt Lake Valley. The trail is well maintained and the views of the Salt Lake Valley begin immediately. The trail winds behind the peak and goes up a slope on the back side. The back side views are amazing. The Great Salt Lake can be seen from the northwest. The entire Salt Lake Valley can be seen below the peak. The view from Ensign Peak is amazing, but sunset is the best time to hike. The view of the sunset combined with the cool evening breeze and the city lights below make this a hike that is worth taking often.
