Millcreek Canyon is one our our go-to hiking areas near SLC. There are trails of varying difficulty - most of which can be found on the All Trails app. Shortly after entering the canyon and passing the toll booth, you will likely loose cell service so plan accordingly. There are some campground restrooms throughout the canyon. Dogs are allowed in the canyon. Odd numbered days are off leash days and even numbered days dogs must be on leash. Bikers are not allowed in the canyon on odd numbered days although you might still see them.

An excellent hike, 5 to 10 miles and one of the local favorites of Moab. One day, you can hike the watery green Canyon bottom and the next day the scenic canyon rim hike.

My favorite hike is up to Dog Lake. I do it multiple times a year. Such a fun, beautiful hike. It’s moderately hard but my 3 boys can do it (13,10,6). Took us about 4 hours including stopping at the top by the lake for lunch. This last time we went (mid July) the flies were HORRIBLE! I have never experienced that before.

Beautiful canyon with lots of places to stop and picnic or hike. We found a nice picnic area with waterfalls and easy access. Lots of pine trees, rock formations, and flowing waters.
