Tara and I love snowshoeing probably as much as we love hiking. Since it is basically the winter version of hiking, this statement seems quite obvious. Being in the midst of a snow-covered forest is so peaceful, and the smell of wet pine is unbeatable. This is our list of favorites. All of these trails can be googled for more information.
1. Salt Lake Overlook Trail, Millcreek Canyon:
This one is a popular summer hike, but is just as good in the winter. Go on a clear day.

2. White Pine Lake, Little Cottonwood Canyon:
A lot of people use this trail for backcountry skiing access, but it works great for snowshoeing as well. There’s lots of cool places to branch off the trail and explore (jump off boulders).

3. Frary Peak, Antelope Island:
You probably won’t actually need snowshoes for this one, but expect to be hiking in snow. This one is particularly good on an inversion day because you’ll be able to climb up out of it, and it is absolutely amazing.

4. Top part of Millcreek Canyon:
They close to road to cars after a certain point in the winter, and groom it for Nordic skiing. You can snowshoe up it too, and it’s an excellent place for beginners—Just don’t walk on the ski tracks, or you may get some nasty looks. After a half mile or so, there are a few trails that branch off the road. These are top notch. The only down side is having to walk so far on the road to access them.

Pretty much any summer trail becomes a snowshoeing trail come winter. Just check the avalanche danger. We also recommend Hiking the Wasatch, one of the best trail/terrain maps we’ve been able to find. It is $15 well spent.
