Mill Creek Canyon Ski Trail: Mill Creek Canyon is located off 3800 South and Wasatch Boulevard east of Salt Lake City, Utah. The ski trail begins 5 miles up the canyon where the winter gate at Maple Grove Picnic Area is located. The summer road becomes the ski trail. From the gate to the top of the canyon, is about 4.5 miles. Dogs are allowed on the ski trail only on EVEN numbered calendar days. Dog owners are asked to bring bags for their dogs' feces. Dogs are required to be leashed in parking areas. Restrooms are open at the trailhead. The trail is intermediate level for cross country skiers, but would be beginner level for snow shoers. The ski trail is groomed once a week with cross country ski tracks set. Please do not snow shoe on the tracks, walk on the sides of the trail. Parking is limited at Maple Grove. Additional parking is available at Terraces boardwalk located less than 1/4 mile from Maple Grove. Use the ski access trail to get to Maple Grove. Cost: $2.25 per car. Pipeline Trail: Pipeline is a popular mountain bike trail during the summer months that follows parallel to the road and takes you from near the bottom of Mill Creek Canyon to just above the Winter Gate. Mill Creek Canyon is located up 3800 South and Wasatch Boulevard east of Salt Lake City, Utah. The trail is great for beginners and intermediate snow shoers.

Jordan Pines and Spruces Campgrounds: Both campgrounds are located up Big Cottonwood Canyon (Highway 190) east of Salt Lake City, Utah. Jordan Pines is 8.8 miles up the canyon and Spruces is 9.7 miles up the canyon. Both areas are good for beginner and intermediate snow shoers who want a close place to workout. Snow trails meander between the campgrounds and can connect for a nice loop. Near Jordan Pines is an open area great for kids to play and practice in the snow (plus the vault toilets at Jordan Pines should be open). Dogs are not allowed in Big Cottonwood Canyon due to Salt Lake City Watershed regulations. Little Cottonwood Canyon Trail: This trail is located up Little Cottonwood Canyon (Highway 210) east of Salt Lake City, Utah. The trailhead is shared with the Temple Quarry Nature Trail. The parking lot is located to the right of the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon and behind the large electrical sign. The gate to the parking lot will be closed during the winter so try parking in the UTA Ride-Share parking lot across the road. The Little Cottonwood Canyon Trail is a gradual climb that follows parallel to the road and Little Cottonwood Creek. Ice formations along this trail should be fantastic. No dogs are allowed in Little Cottonwood Canyon due to Salt Lake City Watershed regulations. White Pine Area: The trailhead is located about 5.3 miles up Little Cottonwood Canyon (Highway 210) east of Salt Lake City, Utah. The parking lot and trailhead are located on the south side of the highway (right). Start on the White Pine Trail. Across the bridge, and a little off the trail is a large open area (about 10-11 acres). This area is a great place for kids and beginners to play and practice with snow shoes.

Mount Aire: This trail is about 6.1 miles up Mill Creek Canyon (3800 South and Wasatch Boulevard east of Salt Lake City, Utah). You can either access the trailhead by the ski trail (follow ski trail about 1 mile, and then look for a trail on the left (north) side of the ski trail) or you can access it from the Pipeline Trail.
