Places to Visit
Shop nowSalt Lake City and the surrounding areas offer so many enriching experiences. After all, John Muir called Salt Lake City "The city with wilderness on the edge" for very good reason.
- The Hogle Zoo and if your legs get tired, enjoy a trolley ride through that Utah scenery surrounding our beloved wild animals.
- This Is The Place Heritage Park where you can pan for gold and immerse yourself in a pioneer experience.
- Definitely try some local ice cream at Doki Doki, Normal, or vegan ice cream at Monkey Wrench (you don't have to be vegan to love this delicious treat.
- A Nature walk around the boardwalk which encircles Big Cottonwood
- Canyon's Silver Lake will give you all of those renewing mountain vibes. You will love checking out Brighton and Solitude too. Don't forget to bring your water bottles with you to stay hydrated and fend off altitude sickness.
- On the way down the canyon, we encourage you to stop for a bite to eat or a cold drink at Silver Fork Lodge.
- Ensign peak is short walk from Ensign Peek Park which offers the best view in Salt Lake City. This is the very place from which Brigham Young stood to map our road system The Grid System
- Drive or bike to any one of the surrounding canyons, Millcreek Canyon, Big Cottonwood Canyon Little, Cottonwood Canyon, &Ogden Canyon.
- Play on the shore of one of Utah's magnificent Mountain top lakes. Sit by the rolling mountain creeks, better yet bring your hammock and a good book to set up and enjoy some mountain time. While you are there Watch for Mountain Bluebirds, Hummingbirds, or Black black-capped chickadees.
