Hiking is just more than walking around outdoors. It is important to choose trails that you can handle. As in nearly anything else,planning is key. The longer the hike, the more planning is needed. Below I have compiled a list of all the hikes on UtahHikingInfo.com and applied a skill level to them. The skill levels go from 1 to 5. Here is a breakdown:

1. Flat, easy hikes that are maintained (such as pavement or packed gravel and/or dirt). Hikes at this skill level have little or no elevation gain. These hikes can be enjoyed by people of all levels from small children to elders.
   

   Level 1 Hikes
   

   Level 1.5 Hikes
   

   
    

2. Easy hikes that most people can do. Trail conditions are generally good with a little elevation gain. Older children will love these slightly challenging hikes.
   Level 2 Hikes
   
   Level 2.5 Hikes
   
   
3. Moderate hikes that may require a little effort to complete. Trail conditions may be a little rough with a good portion of elevation gain. If you are in good health this will be fun and a little challenging. These trails are good for getting teenagers ready for harder trails and extended hikes.
   

   
   Level 3 Hikes
   

   Level 3.5 Hikes
   

   
    

4. Moderately hard hikes that require some effort to complete. Trail conditions are hard and may include some rock scrambles and/or sandy patches. The trail is usually marked and there is a large increase in elevation gain. Adults in good health may require some
   

   Level 4 Hikes
   

   Level 4.5 Hikes
   

   
    

5. Hard trails for experienced hikers who are in shape. Trail conditions are hard to follow and may require a GPS unit or map and compass to follow. Trail conditions will give you a run for your money including big rock crawls, water hazards, over growth.
