About Ensign Peak

Ensign Peak offers a short but steep trail that climbs to a historic monument marking where Brigham Young first surveyed the Salt Lake Valley in 1847. The hike gains about 400 feet in less than a mile, rewarding the effort with panoramic views of Salt Lake City, the Great Salt Lake, and the surrounding Wasatch and Oquirrh mountain ranges. The trail is exposed with no shade and can be rocky in sections, so sturdy shoes and plenty of water are essential. It's a quick outing that combines a bit of Utah pioneer history with one of the best viewpoints overlooking the valley.
