salt lake

Salt Lake City is made up of many unique neighborhoods, each with its own charm and character. Downtown, the heart of the city, is always buzzing with excitement. Here is a mix of history, culture, bars, shops, restaurants, and beautiful parks. With streets laid out in an easy-to-navigate grid system, you can explore the city with ease. No matter what mood you're in, Salt Lake City has what you're looking for.

North of downtown is the Avenues and Capitol Hill neighborhoods, which are mostly residential with beautiful historic architecture. Enjoy local gems like Hatch Family Chocolates (a must visit for hot cocoa in the winter) and Publik, a fantastic local brew pub. Take a drive up the steep hills to the state capitol building and soak up views of the entire valley. Stunning year round, this area is especially nice to visit during the spring when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

Venture west of Capitol Hill where the neighborhood of Rose Park is decorated with quintessential red brick bungalow-style homes and beautiful tree-lined streets, great for an afternoon stroll. Rose Park is also known for it's famous Mexican restaurants, Red Iguana and Red Iguana 2 (the first one was so popular, they built a second location), which are both an absolute must-visit.

Rose Park will always have a special place in my heart as this is where I grew up.

Just south of downtown is the quaint 9 th & 9 th area, packed with delicious upscale restaurants, one-of-a-kind shops, and multiple coffee houses all along the same road (900 South). Enjoy a boozy Sunday brunch, then walk to a local book store or rent a scooter and cruise around the city or Liberty Park, home to one of Salt Lake’s popular farmer's market, towering 100+ year old trees, groups of friends playing sports, hula hoop experts, slackliners, and of course tons of adorable dogs.

Head a little further south into Sugar House, best known for its massive park named after the city. Sugar House Park is great for flying kites in the summer and has the best sledding hills during the winter. Along 2100 South in Sugar House, there are a plethora of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, retail stores, and a movie theater.

A few minutes further south will take you to Holladay and Millcreek, which are nestled right up against the mountains between Millcreek Canyon and Big Cottonwood Canyon. Even though this area is only a few minutes from the hustle and bustle of downtown, life seems to move at a slower pace, with people enjoying the scenery wherever they're driving to, especially if it's a trip up the canyon.

suspension bridge in bear canyon

A short and easy 2.3-mile hike through beautiful scenery and over a suspension bridge that overlooks the Salt Lake Valley below.

donut falls in big cottonwood Best hiked during the spring, summer, or fall, Donut Falls is a 3.3-mile moderate hike with a steep incline and a rocky scramble at the top.

gloria falls This 2.2 mile out-and-back easy hike has a huge reward at the end; a stunning waterfall.

A very popular area for hiking and walking, you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The best times to visit this trail are April through October. Although with the proper footwear (to handle the snow pack), early Spring is also gorgeous. You'll need to leave pups at home - dogs aren't allowed on this trail.

neff’s canyon loop This is an easy 1.3-mile loop through the gorgeous Neff ’s canyon, which takes you along a peaceful river. It’s a great trail for hiking and running in the summer, or snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the winter!

millcreek pipeline trail in millcreek This is a moderate 13.3-mile trail that is fairly shaded and offers fantastic views of the Salt Lake Valley and the Oquirrh Mountains at the end.

hell canyon to frozen waterfall in slc Located just a few minutes outside of downtown, this hike is best done in winter as you will be led to a stunning frozen waterfall.

park city

exp e r i e nc e

Even if you have never visited Utah prior to moving here, chances are good that you’ve heard of Park City - home to multiple worldclass ski resorts, the annual celebrity-studded Sundance Film Festival, and the location of many sport venues from the 2001 Winter Olympics.

Park City also has a rich history in silver mining for silver that is. In the 1870s, Park City had the greatest silver mine in the world, known as the Ontario Mine. Many Utah natives have photographs of their great grandfathers standing outside this mine, captured in a timeless black and white image.

Most popular during the winter months for its incredible downhill and back-country skiing opportunities, Park City is a popular destination during the warmer months. Every Sunday during the summer, Main Street is closed to vehicular traffic and transforms into the pedestrian-friendly “Park Silly” street festival and farmer’s market.

A walk up and down Main Street will introduce you to the many high-end shops, art galleries, and excellent restaurants Park City has to offer. When you’re in this area, be sure to stop at one of the top restaurants, Yuki Yama for sushi, Fletcher’s for contemporary American food, or Courchevel Bistro for a taste of Europe. Afterwards, stop Java Cow or Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, both on Main Street, for some treats.

No matter the season, there’s always something fun to do: hiking, horseback riding, skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, hot air ballooning, mountain biking, and of course, celebrity spotting at the famous Sundance Film Festival.

silicon slopes

e x p e rien ce

Move over, Silicon Valley - the Silicon Slopes is home to the next big tech boom. Many large companies like Adobe Systems, IM Flash Technologies, EA Sports, Ancestry.com, Podium, 1-800 Contacts, Domo, and countless others are building empires right here in Utah, which is home to over 6,500 startup and tech companies.

Big companies aren’t the only attraction, though. Multiple homes, restaurants, and stores are popping up all over the place. The Point, a brand new, once-in-a-generation development is in the works right at the edge of Traverse Mountain. It features over 600-acres of land that will soon be transformed into a mixed-use, forward-thinking community centered on innovation. This new development will feature commercial and residential buildings, connected trails, and spaces for the community to gather. To learn more about this unique development, visit www.thepointutah.org.

No matter the season, there’s something for all age groups. Thanksgiving Point features a gorgeous annual Tulip Festival in the spring and an incredible Dinosaur Museum. Take a quick drive up Provo Canyon to find multiple turn-offs for parks with picnic tables, open grassy areas for games, or peaceful knolls to relax on a blanket with your favorite book.

Though this canyon is incredibly scenic throughout the year, a must-visit time is in the fall.

Stop at Sundance for a picnic lunch and enjoy the vibrant red, yellow, and orange leaves, then head along Alpine loop for a stunningly scenic drive and some of the best fall foliage in all of Utah.

exp eri en ce

TA K E A W E E K E N D T R I P TO S O U T H E R N U TA H The red rock that covers the southern region of Utah is nothing short of magical. It’s no wonder that so much of the land has been protected and preserved for the enjoyment of future generations.

Affectionately referred to as the “Big 5”, Southern Utah is home to Canyonlands, Arches, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon, and Zion National Parks.

If you are looking for a more secluded desert adventure, check out the less-trafficked state parks such as Cedar Breaks, Sand Hollow, Quail Creek, Natural Bridges, Snow Canyon, and Escalante Petrified Forest.

There are three main cities in Southern Utah, each with their own charm and character. Cedar City is home to Southern Utah University and the wellknown Shakespeare Festival. Head to Cedar City if you want to explore more remote hiking, mountain biking, and climbing opvcportunities. If you’re looking for a lively and artistic town to come back to after a day of dirt-biking and ATV adventures, pay a visit to Moab, located in the south-eastern part of Utah. Or enjoy the beauty of the red rocks at a slower pace and vacation in St. George. The largest destination in Southern Utah, St. George and it’s surrounding suburbs feature multiple resorts, delicious restaurants, gateways to multiple outdoor adventures, and world class golf courses.

canyonlands MOAB Gorgeous scenic drives and hikes await you at Canyonlands, carved out over time by the Colorado and Green rivers. Enjoy the Mesa Arch hike, which isn’t too physically demanding and offers incredible views. If you’re a seasoned hiker, take advantage of the Aztec Butte Trail - 2 miles, Gooseberry Canyon Trail - 5.4 miles, and Syncline Loop - 8.3 miles. These hikes lack shade to protect you from the strong rays of the sun, so please lather yourself in sunscreen, wear a hat and sunglasses, and bring along plenty of water to avoid sun exhaustion.

arches MOAB A visit to Arches National Park near Moab in south-eastern Utah will make you feel as though you’ve stepped onto another planet. Take a scenic drive and revel in the stunning red rock arches from a distance, or take a hiking trail to get a close-up view. Delicate Arch, a Utah icon, is a short, relatively easy hike with prime photo opportunities. Other recommended hikes are Devils Garden, Landscape Arch, and Double Arch. If you’re feeling brave, apply for a permit to explore the Fiery Furnace!

capitol reef TORREY A hidden gem, Capitol Reef is home to the historic ghost town of Fruita where you can visit the one-room school house and enjoy a freshly baked pie with fruit from the still-active orchard. We recommend the family-friendly Sunset Point Trail, a 0.3-mile hike with little elevation. Get up close to the red rock formations at the Hickman Bridge Trail and feel the smooth molded rock as you’re exploring. Prepare for lots of stunningly beautiful photo ops with the vibrant desert greenery, bright blue sky, and deep orange rock.

bryce canyon BRYCE Bryce Canyon, famous for its collection of giant natural amphitheaters, has endlessly mesmerizing views no matter how you explore it. Experience this national park while biking, riding an ATV, horseback riding, or lace up your hiking boots and trek along the Bryce Canyon Fairyland Loop - a beautiful day hike that takes approximately five hours to complete, rewarding hikers with stunning scenery along the way.

zion SPRINGDALE With too many hiking trails to list here, Zion National Park offers everything from easy kidfriendly adventures to thrilling climbs up steep cliff walls. Looking for a challenge? Apply for a permit to hike the famous Angel’s Landing Trail, perhaps the most famous in the park. Beware of this one if you have a fear of heights, as you’ll be hiking along a rim with steep drop-offs on both sides for a portion of the trail. Want something more relaxing? Try the Emerald Pools Trail, a short hike along a small stream with beautiful waterfalls and natural pools.
