Fall Activities in Utah for Kids under 3: Muller Park


The beauty of the outdoors! Muller Park Trail is a gorgeous trail in Bountiful Utah. Kids LOVE the outdoors and the magic that comes with it.
You can park off on the road close to the houses. You walk up the road for about 2 minutes until you hit a bridge. Keep the kids close during this part because there are cars going up the mountain and down the mountain. There are also bikers that come around the corner. After you get to the bridge, the only thing you have to watch out for are the bikes that come and go. But, the kids are free to roam around.


Five minutes into our hike, the kids were tired and wanted to snack. We found this area off the road to have our snacks and water. Mia was the most uncomfortable one of us all, because she was in the hiking back pack.


They loved every dog that passed by them and said hi to all of them. There were some really nice dogs on the trail that day.


The hike is kind of steep, but totally doable for the little ones .You don't even have to go all the way up, we didn't. Emma and Nelson had fun collecting leaves of all colors.


Bret felt free to be and he ran most of the time. Mia liked it better when I was walking, I think she was really uncomfortable in the hiking back pack.


Next time, I think I'll just bring her in the kangaroo pack. But I like that I can pack snacks on this back pack. So, who knows, we'll see.

At the end, we went to the river that's by the road. Our goal was to throw rocks in the river and let the kids get the rest of the energy out. But Bret of course, likes to be an adventurer and go the extra mile and become part of the river. Didn't even matter that the water was freezing cold, he got in the water and then sat in the river. No prob.


We give this park/trail **** (4 stars)

1- Easy access
2- Safety- You have to keep a watchful eye on the kids. Don't stress out, but know there's incoming cars, bikes, dogs. In my son's case, I have to keep him away from the river. Especially the deeper parts. Because he will most likely go in. The trail is kind of narrow. We herded the kids away from the edge and it was fine. They were obedient. Bring extra clothes!
3- Entertainment- It was fun! The kids really enjoyed themselves. They loved to explore and just be outdoors.
4- Great place to have a snack with kids younger than 3 months and old enough to sit by themselves. I think Mia would have been more comfortable if she was able to sit on her own.

All in all, it was a great trip. We would do it again.
