Never been there, is it worth the $10 per person to walk though the place? Could get expensive if taking the family. As expensive as the movies, lol.

Any recommendations for your average hikers?
Bunny, REd Butte is pricey when you compare to all the free trails Utah has to offer. Recommendations are tough as it really depends on what you want to do and what kind of hikers you are. For average hikers that may want to play while hiking, Stansbury Island has some great trails and hideaways. Great spot for sunbathing up in the "mountains" as well as pictographs.

Mud season is a little tougher on hiking in the mountains. If you want a real workout hike, there are a few waterfall hikes that will kick your ass and thighs and calves. Bells Canyon in Sandy.

Once summer gets here, five lakes trail up near Brighton is amazing. Has to be nice weather though.

And can't forget about the quintessential hike in Utah County, Fifth Water Hot Springs. Very doable now.

Bell Canyon did kick our @ss. We took a bunch of scouts up, we got to the lake and I was like, hey that wasn't bad. Until the other member of our party say, ah, we're going to the falls. When we got there, I loved the view but wow. It was quite a haul. It was 3.5 miles in from the parking lot according to my map.

We have younger kids and we love to get them out doors.

Any good trail heads at Stansbury Island you recommend.
