Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring my own horse to Dimple Dell Trail West?
Yes, the park is open to equestrians who trailer their own horses in. There's designated trailer parking at the trailhead, and the trails are shared-use paths that accommodate both horses and hikers.
Are the trails at Dimple Dell suitable for beginner riders?
Some sections are relatively flat and manageable for newer riders, but parts of the canyon trail involve uneven terrain and rocky patches. It's worth consulting with an experienced rider or local outfitter before bringing a beginner out on the more technical sections.
Is there a fee to use the trails for horseback riding?
As a public park, Dimple Dell generally doesn't charge an admission fee for trail use. It's always a good idea to check with Sandy City Parks at (385) 468-7275 for the most current access information.
What time of year is best for riding at Dimple Dell?
Spring and fall are the most popular seasons, with cooler temperatures and good trail conditions. Summer mornings work well before the heat sets in, and winter riding depends heavily on recent snowfall and ground conditions.
Are dogs allowed on the trails alongside horses?
Dogs are permitted on the trails, though they must be on leash in most areas. If you're riding, it's smart to be aware of off-leash dogs, as they can spook horses unexpectedly.
How long are the trails at Dimple Dell?
The trail network covers several miles of connected paths through the canyon. You can choose shorter loops or extend your ride significantly depending on your fitness level and how much time you have.
