"Hiking is a wonderful family activity, but not all hiking trails are wonderful for families. A good hiking trail for mixed family groups including young children or seniors should be short (under 3 miles or so) and not too steep. It should also feature some interesting attraction - such as a lake or waterfall - so children will feel they're going somewhere and not just trudging pointlessly through the woods. Here's a list of great family hikes in the Salt Lake City area, any of which can make for a memorable and affordable family outing."
