Three Spring Hikes Perfect for the Warmer Weather in Salt Lake County

Spring means the beginning of hiking season! This is great news for outdoor lovers who don’t necessarily want to be doing stuff when it’s freezing outside. Here are three of our favorite hikes to help you get ready for the warmer days ahead:

Rocky Mouth Waterfall

Let's start with an easy trail. This short waterfall hike is less than one-mile roundtrip and is located near Sandy, UT. If you’re not much of a hiker or just want to get out during the spring for a quick trip, this is the perfect hike for you.

Ensign Peak

Looking for a hike to view the city? Spring is a great time to go on this hike because it’s so close to the city and most of the snow will have melted come April (unless the unpredictable weather decides it wants to snow again). Nonetheless, this easy trail is near a residential area right above the Utah State Capitol building. It’s about one-mile roundtrip and is also dog-friendly.

Living room

This moderate hike is located in Salt Lake City near the University of Utah or, more specifically, very close to Red Butte Garden. Many people don’t know about this hidden gem because it can be confusing to get there, but it’s a fun hike because once you get there you can relax on the stone furniture—nature’s living room. Be cautious as this trailhead is considered moderate. There could still be some snow along the steep parts of the trail.

Does this make you want to get out and explore? Utah is known for its outdoors but sometimes you have to travel quite a distance to get to that perfect trail. For that very reason, we want to make sure you and your love ones get to your destination safely. Take some time to inspect your vehicle or stop by Larry H. Miller Lexus Murray’s service department where a skilled technician can make sure your vehicle is ready to hit the trails.

New, Used, or L/Certified? Find Your Perfect Lexus

So, you want a Lexus but are wondering if you should buy new or used? Not to worry—all car buyers have to face this question sooner or later and neither answer is right or wrong. There are pros and cons to both and what it comes down to is your personal preference and how much you are willing to spend. Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of each option.

Advantages of New

If you are one of those people who is all about having and showing off the newest, most luxurious vehicle on the block, you probably won’t consider buying a used car. Car manufacturers spend a lot of time on innovation and making new cars better than the last models. New cars offer the latest technology, better safety features, new designs, and more. Buying a new luxury car is easier than ever. You have a huge selection to choose from and you can even find it in the perfect color and trim level. Another advantage is that you can be proud that you are the first and only owner of the vehicle in your neighborhood.

Disadvantages of New

One of the biggest disadvantages of a new vehicle purchase is that it can be quite pricey if you’re on a budget. You’ll be paying more in sales tax and your monthly payments will be higher, too. The second issue is depreciation. A car’s value can go down real quick once it is driven off the lot. If money isn’t an issue, there really isn’t any other disadvantages. 

Advantages of Used

A lot of people choose to buy used because they want to save money. The first owner will have taken most of the depreciation costs and in return, you will have a vehicle that is reasonably priced for the budget you want. When choosing used, you have two options: a used or certified used car. At our dealership we offer L/certified vehicles, which are pre-owned Lexus vehicles that have gone through a 161-point inspection, offering you a peace of mind when purchasing a car that isn’t brand-new.

Disadvantages of Used

We’re not going to lie, it’s a risk when you choose to buy a used luxury vehicle. You don’t know what the vehicle has been through and you might find something wrong. On the flip side, you might find a fantastic car that was well-cared-for and the owners just wanted to upgrade. Another issue you might run into is that you won’t have a great selection to choose from. You might not get the color or features you wanted in the same vehicle. You’ll just have to settle and that might be a bummer.

Depending on your current situation, you will know which option is best for you. You might choose the newest model or you might be okay with a slightly older model that is equipped with the necessities. Whatever you choose, Larry H. Miller Lexus Murray is your home of affordable luxury. We have a huge inventory of new, used, and L/Certified vehicles and we’re positive you’ll find the perfect vehicle here.
