If in SLC and do not want to travel far, hit up big cotton wood. I live in Murray, about 10 minutes from SLC downtown, Big Cotton wood is 10 minutes from my doorstep. There are numerous spots to hang. My personal fav is Lake Blanche. I have added some photos to try and impress you from my trip there in 2011. I usually get up there 3-4 times a year. In May there will likely be snow up there, but should not be that bad, check the weather for the solitude ski resort lifts. The elevation is about the same and only 3-4 miles apart. They also have cameras to give you and idea. If you come, look me up on here and I will see what I can do to head up with you.
Looking into the canyon where you will start.
Morning, and some guys fishing
Morning, prior to the sun hitting sundial peak

View from my hammock.
There are many other great places up here to go that are only minutes not 2 hours to drive. But I will never say a bad thing about mirror lake highway.
