There are tons of wonderful sledding spots located in and around Lehi! In fact, there are so many that it can at times be difficult to decide where to go. I got you cover though, I have narrowed it down to eleven sledding spots that you will not want to miss out on trying.

Pack up your sleds and load up your family! This sledding spot will not disappoint. It is probably the best sledding spot in Lehi and is definitely thrilling to slide down. There are two main hills to pick from; both are quite steep and provide a long ride. There are also some smaller hills located in the middle and perimeter of the sledding area that is perfect for little kids to fly down.
One great thing about this sledding spot is that the bottom of the hill gives you plenty of room to stop once you are done sliding down. I highly recommend trying this hill out as soon as possible!
Additional Information
In addition to being a great place to sled, this hill also provides some stunning mountain view and is especially beautiful after a snowstorm. Be sure to bring your own sleds and dress warm.
Something else to keep in mind; this sledding spot has no facilities such as bathrooms or drinking fountains. I highly recommend planning ahead, especially if you have little kids. Bring along some snack and water.
