Savor the City of Saints
Salt Lake City may be famous for being the home of the Church of Latter Day Saints and its Family History Library and majestic Salt Lake Temple, but there’s far more to discover in and around SLC.
Get a taste of Utah through the museums and exciting food scene, then hit the great outdoor locales for hiking and skiing in the Wasatch Mountains, and red desert wanderings to the south.
Salt Lake City favorites
Though it’s a small city by most standards, Salt Lake City’s lively spirit leaves plenty to do while you’re in town.
Natural History Museum of Utah
There’s no better introduction to the histories of the people and landscape of Utah than at the well curated exhibits at the impressive Rio Tinto Center at the University of Utah.
Utah Jazz Basketball
Basketball fever rages hot and high for the Jazz, and an evening at Vivint Arena is a night well spent. The arena is right downtown across from Salt palace Convention Center and close to Temple Square, City Creek Center, and Pioneer Park.
Tabernacle Choir
Perhaps the most melodic way to get an introduction to the Mormon Church is through this 360-member choir that has performed for over 100 years, including at presidential inaugurations.

Start down Interstate 15 and drive about four hours south for views of giant goblin-shaped rock formations, and wander the mazes of red sandstone carved through the valley.
Park City
Just 30 minutes up into the mountains, you can visit Olympic Park, catch the Sundance Film Festival, have a whiskey at High West Distillery, or ski to your heart’s content at Deer Valley Resort, Park City Mountain, Snowbird, Alta, or Brighton Resort.
