These all look like great hikes and I am excited to try some new ones. I was, however, surprised that Timpanogos Cave was listed. There is no way my grandma could do that hike. It is only 1 1/2 miles but it is a very steep climb.

I don't know how old your grandma is, but Adam's canyon when the water level is higher is quite challenging--lots of rocks and steep places. I'd say it's tough for younger kids too.

Timp. Cave is not a grandma hike. Ensign peak while short has some steep areas too. You should add the Granite Quarry up Little Cottonwood Canyon. That is a grandma hike.

I agree with others that these are not all easy. Today my family (including my children's grandparents) hiked Patsy's Mine. On the way back, I ran into at least three families who specifically mentioned seeing this. Unfortunately, it's not a super easy and family friendly hike. The fire road is only accessible from Farmington Canyon, so you most likely need to start from a lower parking lot and have almost half a mile of steep switchbacks. The mine is definitely worth seeing, but you'll have to carry elementary and younger aged children. It took an hour up to the mine as well as just shy of an hour back. My children's ages are 3 and 7, and we hike at least once a week. Hopefully that will help others who see this.
Maybe you could change the title to reflect the fact that these aren't all easy hikes.

Seriously? So easy I could take my Grandma on all of these hikes? Someone didn't do their homework. Anyone who has hiked up the trail to Timpanogos Cave KNOWS that it is long and steep and difficult. Not easy for Grandma. C'mon!

I've read all the comments and being a "grandma" myself, I'm a bit insulted! We are not all that wimpy that we can't hike Timpanogos. I may have to stop a few times along the way, but I CAN do it. In case you're wondering, I'm 69 years young. All these hikes sound doable to me. I'll be back to report my experiences as I tackle these hikes with my grandkids. Thanks for the great choices!

Actually, I am a 58 year old grandma and I hiked Timp in 100+ degrees last summer. And carried a 4 year old on my back part of the time. I was feeling pretty good about myself until I saw people close to 80 making that hike without heavy breathing! Slower, but steady! Hike on!!!

What a fun list! I'm excited to try some of these with the kiddos this summer. And maybe I just have a particularly awesome Grandma, but I'm pretty sure she could do most of these. :)

Hi! I was wondering if there are any lakes like Silver loop or Ruth that can be seen on the drive from salt lake to Provo?

Have just added these hikes to my bucket list for this summer. Thanks for making this list. Silly question, but how can I share this link on my Instagram?

Thanks for all the work you put into the info on these trails. The grandpa in my life is barely over 50 and might struggle to go on these hike. But we are more knowledgeable about the trails and which ones he will be the 'official base photographer'. Love your blog!! Love your logo!!

I'm a gramma of 5 kids aged 15 months to 13. This is my first summer babysitting them. There's no way I can take them where me and my dogs hike. I'm one of the 'active 56 yr old grammas'. I needed this list for summer gramma duty. The kids are sedentary. :( Thanks for taking the time to compile the list. Poo on the whiners...it's HIKING! And if gramma doesn't make it the whole way, so what? Good for her for getting as far as she could in the clean outdoors. Have sense people.

I really appreciate this list. It's a great starting point. I'm a grandma, and if I'm going on a hike with my grand-kids I would do some more research to make sure I can keep up. So nice to have a list to work from.
And... most of these hikes would be a great activity for a family reunion.
