To get you out in Utah’s incredible landscapes, HikeUtah has some of the best hikes in the state. Maps, detailed trail descriptions and useful facts are there for some Utah classics and some in-crowd favorites. A wishlist lets you track the hikes you’re interested in, and a complete list lets you browse what’s available.

• Amethyst Lake, tucked into a cirque in the western Uinta Mountains
• Zion National Park’s Angels Landing
• Box Elder Peak in the Wasatch Mountains
• Delicate Arch in Arches National Park

Detailed trail descriptions help you stay on track while you’re out there, and also gauge your progress. Photos let you check the hike out before you go. Trail facts, including a difficulty rating, round trip distance, time estimates, altitudes, coordinates and more help you size up the hike and decide if it’s right for you. Topo maps from the U.S. Geological Survey help you understand the landscape you’ll be in. Driving directions guide you to the trailhead, turn by turn.

Customize HikeUtah by adding your own hikes, and share these with your family and hiking buddies.

Lists are practical, but sometimes it’s nice to take in your options with a visual way. A map of Utah shows where the hikes are so you can get an idea of where these great hikes are and how close you are to them.

Hiking is often a social activity, but planning outings in Utah’s mountains and deserts is always a challenge. What the right hike, and whom should be invited? When can we get together? HikeUtah has a simple planning tool that lets you pull together the activities you want to do, the people you want to do them with, and the dates you want to do them, and then with just the push of a button, share this plan with your friends.

Have fun out there, be safe, and tread light!
