Saturday morning, at the spur of the moment, Meg, Lizzy, and I decided to hike to Ensign Peak. This has been on my bucket list for quite some time, so I was excited for the hike. We read on-line that it is an easy mile long hike. Hmm….I must not be a great hiker, because it wasn't that easy for me. Short hike yes, but easy? Maybe going down the mountain, but definitely not up.
On Utah.com, it say this about Ensign Peak:
"Ensign Peak is a prominent small mountain peak at the north end of the Salt Lake Valley, above the State Capitol building. From the top, you have marvelous views out over the Salt Lake Valley and Great Salt Lake.
Two days after arriving in the Salt Lake Valley, Brigham Young and seven other pioneer leaders climbed the mountain to survey the valley. From its summit they laid out in their minds the city they intended to build. A small monument now sits on the summit."
A big thanks to Brother Brigham for a job well done!
I would love to hike this trail again at dusk or at night were you could see the beautiful sunset, or the stunning city lights.
