We've teamed up with Utah's Adventure Family to make one #UTAWESOME list!
*****When we originally wrote this post, we were thinking more of hikes your KIDS grandmas could do. We've updated the list to include notes "more difficult." Some of them are more difficult because they are pretty steep. But all of the hikes were done with young children either walking or riding on our backs. Everyone is at different levels of fitness, so please be sure to read each post to make sure it's for you and your family.
Bair Creek Hike | Kaysville
SnowShoeing/Hiking Wheeler Creek Trail | Ogden
While this shows winter snowshoeing, I saw many people of all ages snowshoeing on this trail.
Silver Lake Loop Trail | Brighton
Grotto Falls | Payson
Fairy Land | Uinta National Forest
Holbrook Canyon Trail | Bountiful
Wild Rose Viewpoint Trail | North Salt Lake

Most are gravel or dirt trails. We've pushed strollers through some of the paths too.
Adams Canyon Lower Falls | Layton
The switchbacks can be tough, but really it can be done under 30 minutes to get to the falls! We've hiked with kids 2-9 on this. Some walked, some were carried.

This hike is steep. We didn't know about the service road, so we hiked extra. We've hiked this twice with kids ranging from 2-9 and adults from 20-50 yrs. To read about the hike and how to get to the service road read Utah's Adventure Family.
Hiking Flag Rock | Farmington (more difficult)
An extension of Patsy's Mine above.
Adams Canyon | Layton (more difficult)
This hike is steep but can be done with younger kids.

Steep, but paved the whole way. Be sure to click on the link for Brittney's experience with her young kids.
