While hiking is very strenuous, it can also be enjoyable, and there are plenty of hikes for all body types, from easy to really hard. While I'm not going to go and hike King's Peak (at least right now) - I wanted to share a bit of my hiking journey here in Utah while I was preparing to hike the 46-mile hike in Patagonia. Here are my top three hikes near Salt Lake City, Utah I sugget trying, from Easy to really difficult.
