Ran with a friend from the Capitol to the summit and back. It was a quick workout and a great way to shake out the legs before our half marathon in Bryce Canyon tomorrow. Lovely views of the city and a storm-shrouded Wasatch to boot!

Nice evening/night hike with the kids
Watched the sunset on a beautiful fall evening. Then my wife and I handed out flashlights to all the kids for an enjoyable night hike down.

Shorter than I expected
Took my dog on this hike, and we were at the top in 20 mins... kept going on the trail north above city creek. Pretty reds and yellows of fall are coming out!
Out of respect for Brigham, I won't comment on the hike. We set basecamp on the road below. When we decided to set up advanced basecamp, we realized we had already summited. We rested and tried to soak in what we had accomplished. Fantastic views in a remote setting. Lightning strikes all around our party made our hair stand on end. Running descent!
I had hiked this a couple of times before in 2004. Extremely short and easy - not even a mile. I rode my mountain bike from Dry Creek on BST and explored a section I hadn't done before and ended up at Ensign Peak. Great views of the city!
Good little up-n-down hike with a pretty veiw of the city.

Standard route
I've hiked a lot of 'urban peaks' the last few years during business trips and the like and I've got to say that the Ensign Peak trail had, hands down, the creepiest / shadiest / scariest visitors of any urban trail visited yet! Yikes! The good news is, I figured I could out-run the junkies and gang members. Neat views, especially liked looking down at the capitol.

Nice little hike
This little hike is great in the winter time. I hiked this with my girlfriend and her little brother after we sat around the house and couldn't figure out what to do. Pretty views of downtown SLC.
i usually run up and down this little guy from my home on 1st avenue a couple times a week. adds some flair to what would otherwise be a rather tame run.

Quick TripTook 15? minutes to climb and less than 5 to run down. Cute little mountain with great views of SLC.

Nice Walk with PopsNice leisurely walk on a gorgeous day in Salt Lake. Excellent views of the entire valley and even Mount Nebo to the south.

Quick HikeProbably the shortest, easiest hike for its type of view. Nice look at SLC. Usually crowded, but only one other couple on top this day.
