Confirmed from Memorial Hill's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Hill landmark featuring a memorial to US veterans, along with flags.
What runners say about Memorial Hill
“If you do bring them, please take the time to clean up after them.”
“This fallen hero memorial is really, really neat, the flags are beautiful and the views from the top of this hill are awesome, what a way to honor our fallen.”
Gulf War Vet here, and it’s always humbling when memorials are made for us. This one is very well built. You can drive up to the memorial stones, and flags. (No hiking is needed). They have flags of all branches of the armed forces.
Memorial Hill in Midway is hard to miss. It's a tall narrow hill in the center of the city. You can drive to the top, and I recommend a nice morning walk. Watch the town grown smaller and meditate. At the top is a war memorial for all wars the US has been involved in, some beautiful sculptures, flags, and a green area.
Incredible location to take in the entire valley & show respect to our fallen soldiers. You can drive to the top of the hill or you can walk. Very windy. Bring water. Folks with lung or breathing concerns should take caution with the wind. Great place to remember our soldiers.
Special place. Easy access road for driving or walking. Parking at the bottom and the top. The view from up top is spectacular, especially at sunset! Thank you to our many Utah vets over the decades!
