Route Description for Parley’s Trail

Hiking Parley’s Trail is a wonderful way to see Salt Lake City. Although this trail is well-maintained and travels through an urban center, proper footwear is essential, as nothing ruins a fun hike faster than sore feet and a bad blister! Parley’s Trail is a multi-use path with lots of walkers, runners, and cyclists; please be mindful of others, keep your dog on a leash, and let people pass you by. Along this hike you will pass through Parley’s Historic Nature Park and the trendy and historic Sugar House Neighborhood. There are so many wonderful stops along this route that will give you a different taste of the culture and history of this great city.

From Parley’s Crossing Trailhead, follow the path as it heads west across the city. Stop for coffee and treats along the way and enjoy your time exploring Salt Lake.

Parley’s Trail ends at the junction with the Jordan River Parkway. At this junction, simply turn around and follow the path back to the trailhead where you began.
