Dimple Dell Regional Park is a massive park spanning over 600 acres in Sandy, Utah. Aside from being a beautiful destination to enjoy local scenery, the park has over 15 miles of trails, ranging from easy to difficult, for you and your pup to hike during a day outing.

Because you'll be sharing the trail with local wildlife such as horses, your dog is required to be on a leash. Keep in mind that some of the trails at this expansive park permit mountain biking and running. Therefore, keep your dog close to you so they (and bikers) won't get startled.

Dimple Dell Regional Park is accessible throughout the year and currently open from dawn until 10 p.m.

Dimple Dell Regional Park is about a 20 minute drive south of Salt Lake City. Take 1-15 S to reach your outdoor adventure with your pup.

Part of the fun of being in nature is breathing in the fresh air. Therefore, take a moment or two to appreciate being outside with your dog while you're on your hike.

Since many of the easier trails are flat, they're conducive for dogs of all ages.
