Salt Lake City - north foothills

People who live in Utah are incredibly fortunate to have so many outdoor recreational opportunities, so close by.  I took a little hike after work one day last fall, from a trailhead in North Salt Lake, following a pipeline that ended up on the flat area north of Ensign Peak and the radio towers that dot the skyline of the foothills north of SLC.

What a nice view of SLC & City Creek canyon.
