Mount Olympus Trail: Hike to Salt Lake City's iconic peak.
"
💡 Tips from Dan
Your Road Warrior Guide
- •For a memorable hike on Mount Olympus Trail, aim to visit in late spring to early fall (May to September) when the weather is most favorable. Start early in the morning to avoid the midday heat and crowds, and bring plenty of water, snacks, and sunscreen. Dress in moisture-wicking layers, sturdy hiking boots, and a hat for sun protection. An insider tip: take the trail early in the week for a quieter experience. Be cautious of loose rocks and steep sections, and always stay on marked paths for safety. Capture breathtaking photos at the summit, where panoramic views of Salt Lake City and the Wasatch Range await. Lastly, respect local customs by maintaining trail etiquette—yield to uphill hikers and pack out any trash to preserve this stunning environment.
