Ensign Peak Nature Park is anchored around the gorgeous Ensign Peak, which was named in 1847 by Brigham Young and has long served as a religious natural monument for the LDS Church. The park, which is located approximately a mile north of the Utah State Capitol, is a great choice for area nature hikers and bikers, connecting to the nearby Bonneville Shoreline Trail. At Sandhurst Drive, visitors can also connect to the adjacent Stansbury Shoreline Preserve. Parkgoers can pack picnic lunches and hike to the top of the peak, which showcases a small monument dedicated to its connection to LDS Church history. Well-behaved dogs are permitted on trails on leashes on all trails, making the park perfect for visitors looking to explore the great outdoors with four-legged friends.
