Hike I was supposed to meet some friends for the Ensign Peak trail (linked below), but it is kinda short for me. I arrived a couple hours earlier and meandered on the trails behind Ensign Peak. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/utah/ensign-peak-trail-and-overlook Drink Evolution Amber Ale from good ol’ Wasatch Brewery.

Hike I took the trail linked below to the bridge. It is really just the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.
