Great Ski Areas!
Con

empty streets, not much of city life
In a nutshell

Winter skiing makes the city, otherwise it would just be a place with a salty lake
35 Reviews Surrounding the Salt Lake Temple is 10-acre Temple Square which houses the temple along with the Mormon Tabernacle, the Assembly, and beautiful gardens. The temple was completed in 1893 after 40 years of construction. The Tabernacle, an architectural marvel of its time, was built from 1863 to 1875.
15 Reviews Many people think that the Smell they experience when visiting the Great Salt Lake, especially at the South end of the lake at the Marina, is due to the salt water and brine shrimp. I have been sailing many times on the lake and have found that when one gets a mile or so from shore, there is no...
10 Reviews My family and I live right next to the causeway for Antelope Island. I love this location to live because it is surrounded by farms and lovely fields! Just last week my brother and I went to the islands annual Balloon Stampede (to work), where they launch hot air balloons, fly kites, and there is...

5 Reviews We went to Mikado for Saturday lunch (1/27/07). We were promptly sitted in the "basement" dining section and I thought it was a nice atmosphere, different than other restaurants I've been in. I asked the server a question and he let me know that this was his first shift so he didn't know a lot. That...
3 Reviews Squatters Pub Brewery snuck up on me despite many years of wanting to go there. I had not made it to Salt Lake City in either my 1994 or 1995 trips to Utah, always seeming to get stuck in the state's more renowned southern sights. So, Salt Lake City and Squatters were intertwined as places I just...
6 Reviews I don't know any other way to post this, so hope this helps. Port o'call was a popular spot, but the government wanted the land to expand the courthouse so the building had to go. February 2009 was the end of that era. Places to go instead? The new Green Pig Pub has many of the same fixtures....
2 Reviews Different atmospheres: DJ, Dance, ouse/thechno, Live music, Rock/pop... Young people there. I think is the biggest disco in SLC. Once a week there is a Gay/lesbian day I don't remember which one... Really I prefer it other days... It's up to you...
14 Reviews I'm not absolutely sure, but I think I remember riding the bus at least once. Now, SLC in addition to the buses, has a light rail system which they call TRAX. For the BUS: Pay when you get on the bus. If you board within the downtown Free Ride Zone, pay when you get off. The regular fare is $1.40....
7 Reviews Hotel shuttles and taxis connect the airport with downtown. I made sure our hotel had a free shuttle as I didn't want to pay for a taxi even though the airport is fairly close to the downtown. If you don't have too much luggage, UTA buses offer an inexpensive $2 ride from the airport to downtown....
7 Reviews I am posting this because much of the info here is incorrect or outdated. Utah did away with the Private Club law a little while ago so you do not have to have a membership to enter those establishments anymore. The downside of this is that in the past, you may have paid a smaller amount for the...
8 Reviews As a person born and raised in Salt Lake City that was not Mormon or LDS or whatever is appropriate, I disagree with many of the statements above. First, if they know (and as has been stated they have awesome record keeping systems so, they know) you are a non-mormon they will in little ways try to...
3 Reviews We look all smiles in this pictures, but in reality, we were freezing our tushes off. This was taken on the day after the Opening Ceremonies and it was nearly zero degrees Fahrenheit. The Utah mountains can get that cold in the February. Not all the time, but it happens. A neck gaitor can make all...
3 Reviews the great salt lake is not particularly attractive, it is swarmed by flies and smells of something rotting get in the water so that you too can come to the realization that things float higher in the denser salt water go hiking!!
5 Reviews Wow, I really enjoyed this musuem. It has some of the most significate historical representation of aviation marvels. They have lots of outside displays as well and many inside displays. Make a point to take extra time to see all it has to offer! 75th ABW/MU 7961 Wardleigh Road, Building 1955 Hill...
9 Reviews I thought DC had a very unique idea of promoting art with all the colorful giant pandas located all over the city. Well Utah, Salt Lake City used the same concept using Buffalo sculptures painted with all different designs and located them all over the city. I had the pleasure of seeing at least two...
5 Reviews For me, that I use to attend to Futbol (Soccer) games in Argentina, it was a very cold game. It seems to be more important what occurs in the grades that the basketball game itself. Everything was in order, but I expected something different.
9 Reviews Deer Valley was the venue for the Women's Moguls event at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. This is a view from the slopes of the valley at the foot of the resort. Deer Valley is perhaps a bit over groomed, but most people visiting Deer Valley seem to like the steep groomed runs. It also...
