Ensign Peak Nature Park - Full
Ensign Peak Nature Park is located in Salt Lake City, Utah on Vista View Dr. This trail is very close to down town Salt lake, approximately 1 mile north of the Utah State Capital. Round trip the trail is less than 1 mile . This video features both lookouts available in the nature park, one of which is paved the entire way.
This trail is steep but short, so should be accessible, even if you are not acclimated to activity at altitude. The trail to the lower lookout is fairly steep, but paved the entire way so easily accessed. The trail has little vegetation when you leave the trail-head, so I would not recommend hiking this trail in the afternoon of the hottest months.
If there is anything about his trail you think should be included, a question you have about the hike, or a trail you would like to see, please leave it in the comments.

This trail is leashed-dog friendly and even features a paved walkway to the shorter and lower Vista Mound. There is no water. This hike features easily accessible view of the Salt Lake Valley from the Great Salt Lake to the south end of the valley. There are several historical and informative plaques around the trail highlighting the history of the area.

Places to see in ( Salt Lake City - USA )
Salt Lake City, Utah’s high-elevation capital, is bordered by the buoyant waters of the Great Salt Lake and the snow-capped peaks of the Wasatch Range. Downtown’s 10-acre Temple Square, headquarters of the Mormon Church, is home to the majestic, 19th-century Salt Lake Temple and the neo-Gothic Assembly Hall. The acclaimed Mormon Tabernacle Choir performs in the square’s domed Tabernacle.
Salt Lake City is the capital and largest city of Utah, with a population of approximately 190,000 (the Salt Lake Metro Area in its entirety has over a million people). It is one of the largest cities in the Southwest region of the United States, although its climate is more similar to the Rocky Mountain region. It lies in the Salt Lake Valley along the Wasatch Front urban corridor, located between the Wasatch Range to the east and the Oquirrh Mountains to the west; on the border between the Rocky Mountain and Great Basin geographic regions.
Salt Lake City is well-known as the center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as the Mormon church), although fewer than half of the city's residents are members. The city is also known as a base for outdoor recreation, including the many nearby ski resorts just east of the city which were thrust into the world spotlight by the 2002 Winter Olympics.
Significant neighborhoods in SLC include Downtown, the financial core that's home to Temple Square (the main headquarters of the Mormon church); Central City, the main residential area of the city, approximately 400 South to 900 South; Sugar House, a commercial/residential district with many local and national shops; Federal Heights, an affluent district to the northeast; The Avenues a historical neighborhood with many late 1800 and early 1900 buildings; University, the area surrounding the sprawling University of Utah campus and the adjacent VA Medical Center, Research Park, and Fort Douglas; East Bench or Foothill, a residential area bisected by the major arterial road Foothill Boulevard between 900 South and I-80; Capitol Hill, an affluent district just north of Downtown topped by the Utah State Capitol building; Rose Park a residential in the northwest section of the city; and Glendale a residential, primarily Hispanic district to the southwest, home to the International Peace Gardens. The benches are the mostly residential, upper-class communities constructed mostly along the slopes of the Wasatch Mountains on the east side of the valley, although they have recently been growing in the southern valley (the low Traverse Mountains) and the western valley (the Oquirrh Mountains). The east side is traditionally more affluent and conservative than the west side, leading to the expected cultural rivalries that you find in other cities with clear divides, although this divide is arguably less pronounced in Salt Lake City than in most major cities.

Ensign Peak
Ensign Peak is at the north end of the Salt Lake Valley. To access it you drive along the east side of the State Capitol Building on E. Capitol Blvd until you turn left onto Ensign Vista Drive. There is a small park and this is the access to the trail head. This hike was made on March 14, 2010 when the conditions were still muddy at locations. Look for drier times to hike this trail because the thick clay mud is very slippery. Otherwise it is an easy hike and took only 23 minutes to get to the top despite many stops to video and take photos.

Hiking Ensign Peak
As the alarm rang, and the birds started chirping at the crack of dawn, we woke up to the beautiful day of memorial. Put on our tennis shoes, and drove up the mountain to conquer it at 0500. It was a tough run in the beginning, but we succeeded, and when we made it to the top we watched the sun as it kissed the peaks of the freshly snow capped mountains.
