Hiking to Skylight Arch on the Utah/Arizona Border is a perfect trail to stretch your legs on a long drive, and see a really cool arch within a short distance. About The great thing about Skylight Arch is that its dog friendly,
Mt. Olympus (9,030 ft) is the prominent peak above Murray/Millcreek, Utah and is recognizable from anywhere in the SLC valley due to its two long, rocky spines on the West face.
Cascade Springs is a large artesian spring with naturally-terraced cascades and pools, located in American Fork Canyon. Over 7 million gallons of water flow through the springs each day. Cascade Springs isn't a hike, but more of a really easy, casual stroll.

The Farmington Canyon Trail leads to 40 ft waterfall in Davis County. Dogs will have a blast since there are several stream crossings and plenty of shade.
Funnel Arch (aka Cable Arch) is a short, yet rewarding hike to a massive arch located only 15 minutes from Moab, UT. Compared to the nearby Corona Arch, you'll likely see any people at this arch since it's not as well know and there's no trail sign. However, this arch is just as good, or even better, than Corona Arch. Getting to Funnel Arch does require one small section of a scramble (class 2), so I advise not bringing dogs or kids. Funnel Arch is a popular area for people to practice rappelling skills (see short video here), if you have the gear and experience.
The Deer Ridge Off Leash Area is a fun area for hikers & bikers to explore above Point of the Mountain with their dogs and kids.
The Davis Creek Waterfall is accessed via the Davis Creek Trail, and is a good hike for all levels of hikers.

However, if you are short on time but still want a great destination, the waterfalls is the perfect turnaround point.
