We did the Up and Over hike today with some friends, including Maren and Stewart and their new dog Gracie. I think it was a pretty big hike for Gracie -- who probably had never hiked in her life. The Up and Over has been our standard "go to" hike this spring while we wait for the upper trails to melt off. It is a great hike in the foothills above the University of Utah that goes up above Red Butte Creek to Van Cott Peak and down the other side along a ridgeline overlooking the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We have done this hike over 20 times already this year. Trailhead Elevation: 4,990 ft
