Winter Hiking Trails List

Here is a list of hikes that can be done in the winter in Utah! Many people give up hiking when the weather gets cold, but it is a beautiful time to hike. It’s peaceful and there is nothing quite like a frozen waterfall. This post below gives all the tips and tricks if you have never hiked in the winter or want extra info:

Winter Hiking Safety

There are some trails that are in avalanche areas, so be sure to check https://utahavalanchecenter.org/ before you go to make sure you’ll be safe.
