We have been living in Utah for almost six years now, and as a family who has a daughter who is a wheelchair user, finding accessible hikes is important to us. We have found 20+ wheelchair and stroller friendly hikes in Utah that our family really enjoys, hopefully they will work well for your family too.
Stroller Friendly Hikes Utah:
It is probably an important distinction to make that these hikes will involve a lot more walking and not as much hiking or vertical gain. Either way, these are still all very easy, family friendly, and flat smooth hikes/nature walks that the entire family can enjoy and appreciate together. They are hikes that our family has loved for years, and ones that we go back to time and time again.

The Best Adaptive Stroller for Hiking:
Last year we went on a large national park tour as a family and before the trip we got a Convaid Cruiser adaptive stroller. It was a complete game changer. It is such a comfortable ride for an older child who can still benefit from using a stroller, is easy to push and get around, and has better tires than a wheelchair to accommodate rugged terrain. We cannot say enough good things about this stroller and highly recommend it.
These are all of our favorite wheelchair and stroller friendly hikes in Utah. Were there any that we missed? Let me know in the comments below!
