The best adventures are those you take with the people you love. However, sometimes, these excursions need to be modified to cater to young children who are coming along on the adventure. Fortunately, the Miller Park Loop is one trail tucked away in Salt Lake City that is scenic, shady, short, and easy. Kids will love it and adults will want to return over and over again.
Miller Bird Refuge and Nature Park is located in the heart of Salt Lake City. It is hard to believe this slice of paradise is located right in the city, rather than high in the mountains.

The trail is only 0.8 miles and fairly flat, so even those with smaller feet will have few issues walking along the path.
