Ensign Peak Overlooking Salt Lake City’s Panoramic View 👍

Hiked from the Utah State Capitol to Ensign Peak in 37°C scorching heat 🥵 Guide below 👇 ⛰️ Ensign Peak is the closest hiking spot to downtown Salt Lake City for a full panoramic view of the city 🌟 📍 Starting from Ensign Peak Trailhead, the hike is only 0.8 miles (1.3 km) with an elevation gain of 400 feet (120 m). The round trip takes about 40 minutes. It’s not too difficult but quite steep—hiking shoes are recommended for safer downhill walks. The trail has no large rocks, making it suitable for children too. 📍 If you prefer a longer route, you can start from the Utah State Capitol and walk to the Trailhead. Along the way, you’ll pass beautiful mansions and small parks perfect for picnics. However, it’s mostly uphill and can be tiring! ⚠️ This trail has no shade, so during summer, it’s best to hike after 6:30 PM. Don’t forget to bring water and sunscreen! Staying hydrated is key in this heat. The view from the top is absolutely worth it—you can see the entire city sprawled out below! 🏙️💦 #HikingRouteRecommendations #HealingViews #MyHikingDiary #OutdoorHiking #NorthAmericanLife #SaltLakeCity #UtahScenery #WildOutdoorPhotos #SunsetHikes #FamilyFriendly #UrbanHikes #ExploreUtah
