Hiking and Running Wild Rose Trail

The Wild Rose Trail is located in North Salt Lake right behind the capital building and along with all the pretty houses that are huge! This trail is popular, but when I went there wasn't a lot of people, but the trail is for hiking, running and mountain biking. I guess from September till winter time you will see fewer people and it is dog-friendly. Dogs are allowed all year round with no leash, but remember there are bikers so beware. I love how the trail is in the sun for some of the time but most of it is in a foresty area. So great for running around.
This hike isn't very hard, so any beginner can do this hike, its only 400 elevation gain and at the top its 5500 ft elevation. If you need more of a hike that's more than 1 mile then there are trails that go up to the top of the mountain in the first picture.
