One thing continually strikes me about trails along the Wasatch Front: easy access. Where else can you literally open up the back gate to your yard and go for a hike? Such was the case when I lived at the top of 9th Street in Ogden several years ago. The beckoning foothills were immediately behind the house I was renting, and I took advantage of them often.
Even if you're not lucky enough to live right at the bottom of the mountain, trails like the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, Malan's Peak, Waterfall Canyon, Indian Trail and others are a short drive from any Weber County city. Contrast that with Denver, where playing in the mountains will involve a long drive beforehand.
Easy access means that we have no excuse to not get out and enjoy nature. What are some of your favorite trails that are a short drive from your home?
