Spring Hikes near SLC

I have the perfect post for you as you get ready to head into the weekend.  The past few weeks I have been doing a lot of research on "Spring Dog Friendly" hikes and really wasn't impressed with the google search results.  

It was a lot of work finding something close to downtown , that I hadn't already done, and that also allowed dogs.  I needed no to minimal snow, not too muddy, not too icey, the goldilocks of hiking trails if you will.  So I found some great hikes, did them all, and put together this great list for you.  With a few extras outside SLC if you are willing to travel.
