As Utahns, sometimes we just get the urge to walk up a frickin’ mountain. Luckily, there are lots of big hills in and around SLC, and that means there’s probably a local hike to suit almost anyone’s fancy. Ali talks with Olivia Juarez, public lands program director with GreenLatinos and outdoor rec enthusiast, about what makes a great hike.
