Salt Lake City Hiking & Camping

Not a lot of time in the sun. No need for extra sunscreen or hat. Mostly popping in and out of tour van. The hike at the end is a little steep for older people but there is still a good view if you don’t go to the top. Bring water.

Such an amazing trip and experience. Dima is a cool tour guide, very humorous and willing to answer any questions you have. Stinky springs was exceptionally stinky (sulfur). Golden Spike was very cool. Loved the trains. But the pink lake, salt crystals, seeping oil from an old rig, and the gypsum crystals were fantastic. Like being on another planet. Such a great experience.

It’s a very long walk with no shade or place to sit down when you go see the pink salt lake. Be prepared it’s about 2 miles of walking but very interesting. Our guide was amazing!

Josh was very knowledgeable and personable. The practice was awesome and the hike along with it was beautiful and peaceful. I enjoyed the experience very much.

Beautiful hike, we got to see the blooming wildflowers!! James was very knowledgeable of the area, shared experiences and tips; polite and friendly family man!

This group hiking day trip in the stunning Little Cottonwood Canyon was by far the highlight of my first trip to Salt Lake City! Even though I booked as a solo female traveller, I was happy to be included in a friendly group. We chose Gloria Falls, a heart-racing trail to the top of serene water shed falls. Our guide, James, brought his unparalleled passion for and knowledge of all things outdoors, animals, terrain, weather and nature. He grew up hiking in Utah so I felt immediately safe on the trail. The trek was not only fun, but also incredibly informative. Our guide provided free snacks, water and enough breaks to keep our energy high and upbeat on hot day. 100% I'd do it again solo or with friends.

I was looking for a guided tour that would allow me to experience the beauty of Northern Utah's mountains while staying in Salt Lake City, and this was exactly what I was hoping to find. It was the perfect way to spend a few hours in the evening exploring nature, learning about the area's natural history, and getting up close to some truly beautiful wildlife. The entire experience was thoughtfully planned and well organized.Sarah was outstanding from start to finish. Her communication before the tour was excellent, and throughout the experience she was kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. She made everyone feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.The vehicle was spacious and comfortable, and it was stocked with thoughtful amenities including water, snacks, binoculars, hats, bug spray, and face nets. Every detail seemed to be considered.The tour concluded with an adventurous sunset hike to a scenic overlook above the Great Salt Lake, providing a memorable ending to an already fantastic experience.If you're visiting the Salt Lake City area and want to experience Utah's natural beauty with a knowledgeable guide, this tour is absolutely worth your time.

I booked this experience because it was a little out of my comfort zone, but something I really wanted to try. Boy, am I glad I did! Josh was such a thoughtful and kind leader of the trip and helped me find great peace through introspection in one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. He routinely asked for my consent to make sure I was comfortable with any practices or parts of the hike, and that made me feel so confident as a solo traveler. He clearly loves what he does and sharing this experience with others. I highly recommend this!

Bonnie would come to our office pretty frequently and provide a yoga session during our work day to anyone who was free and available to join. Over time many of us became a lot stronger in our practice as we all grew together. Bonnie made the sessions welcoming and accessible, while still making them challenging and rewarding. An enormous de-stresser for tough days at the office. Bonnie is an absolute delight to be around as well. Would recommend to anyone!

Bonnie came and did 2 classes at our corporate offices and there has been nothing but incredible reviews! Her soundbath was so calming and our people loved it! Her restorative yoga was incredibly stress relieving. Bonnie is so accommodating and great to work with!

Last week was my first time in Salt Lake City and this hike was the highlight of my trip. As a solo female traveller, I was searching for a day time active, inclusive and fun group hike in nature and this hike certainly delivered. James, our guide, grew up in SLC and has unparalleled knowledge of the outdoors, animals, weather and hiking conditions. The hike was challenging yet well paced. Every stop came with a fun fact or story. James packed free healthy snacks and water, whixh kept us energised on a hot day. I met another solo traveller from Australia on the hike and we had fun conversations on the way up to Gloria waterfalls. The gorgeous Rocky Mountain scenery was well worth the city break. I highly recommend booking with James!

Thoughtful approach with hiking route tailored to participant capability and preference. Beautiful scenery and the right amount of challenge. Super knowledgeable and engaging guide. Loved it. Highly recommend.

Our tour guide Sarah was welcoming from the start and helped our group converse with each other. The entire tour felt like we were with friends instead of random strangers. Sarah was accommodating throughout our time together and it was such a great time. We lucked out with having a breezy hike so bugs were very minimal. I had just one buzzing near me on the descent. Highly recommend this tour!

The evening excursion to Antelope Island was a great way to end our trip to Salt Lake City. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable. The evening sunset was breathtaking with a bonus view of the full strawberry moon. I would highly recommend this tour company and guide, Garth.

Easily the most impressive tour that Dima has to offer is a private experience to the remote and secret Pink Lake. Words cannot do this place justice as it is simply breathtaking. Dima took time to prepare us with boots and gloves that allowed us to walk in the water. Make sure you add this to your vacation plan!

We booked Dima for our tour again because he was truly amazing. He always made sure you were comfortable. He had special shoes to wear so that you were able to go in knee deep and truly experience the pink salt water lake. The view and experience was once in a lifetime. We also saw real oil from the ground, salt crystals, and gypsum. Plenty to take home with you. It was an amazing experience I cant stop talking about it. I highly recommend this trip and make sure you ask for Dima, he has great stories. Thank you Dima.
