Quail Hollow

Quail Hollow is a little-known trail that can be hiked and biked in the summer or snowshoed and microspiked in the winter. The views of Little Cottonwood Canyon are surprisingly good, and there is a creek running alongside the first half of the trail. There is a large open field to the west, which allows people to do several loops to increase the length of their hike. There are several water catchment and power substations near the open space, which can take away some of the charm but the first half of the trail is very pretty.

You get great views of Salt Lake City and the south valley neighborhoods from the open field, and many people bring their dogs on the journey. Keep in mind a large sign at the trailhead says that dogs are not allowed due to the watershed. There is no avalanche danger on this hike, which is a huge bonus.
