Review:
A simple, one mile round-trip hike leads to one of Salt Lake City’s finest view points. With soaring views that stretch past Salt Lake City’s Capitol building, across Salt Lake Valley, and reaching to the shores of Great Salt Lake itself, Ensign Peak provides a unique and breathtaking perspective of the surrounding area.
Although the peak is popular throughout the day, visitors are often recommended to visit Ensign Peak at sunset when views of Great Salt Lake are contrasted by the vast array of pastel hues accompanying the setting sun. Access to the hike begins within a residential neighborhood of the city, and the Salt Lake City Parks and Recreation’s website outlines specific directions and parking availability.
