Hiking Schedule 2023

It has taken me a little while to figure out my hiking schedule for the season. With all the snow I wasn’t sure if we could start in May or not, but I think we can make it work. If you are interested in joining me and have any other suggestions I am totally open to making changes too! I plan to hike around the Salt Lake and Utah county areas on Tuesday mornings after I teach a pilates class in Spanish Fork. There are a few Tuesdays I need to shop while up north and will not be hiking. My plan is to work up to more difficult hikes over time and hike Timp this year in August. Snow pack melt will be a factor as well so we may need to change things around if that is the case. Copy and paste link into the All-Trails website for more details and directions to trail heads. Please bring adequate water, food, sun protection and wear good hiking shoes. Send me a message through my contact page if you are interested in joining me!
