Look Ahead to a Hike at Dog Lake!

Last fall, we decided to take advantage of one of the last snow-free weekends of the year to get one last hike in before we unpacked our skis and snowboards. Dog Lake was the quality hike of choice. We started up Big Cottonwood Canyon at the Butler Fork Trailhead. Click here for directions. The hike is a little steep at first, but then it levels out to a comfortable incline. Overall the hike was about 6 miles. It's a great hike that you should plan on doing during your next Utah spring, summer, or fall ski trip!

Here are some of the photos we took along the way. You'll notice a beautiful variety of colors and trees!




Hiking to Dog Lake is a great option for the Spring, Summer, and Fall. Make sure you have snowshoes if you plan on trying in the winter. If that is your plan, make sure you pay attention to the local avalanche forecast as well. 

If you're planning a trip that will require transportation up one of the Salt Lake City canyons, consider booking a Utah shared shuttle service as a reliable canyon transportation option. You won't regret it! It's much less stressful than riding in a rental car.
