And if there's a concert while you're in town, catch the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square. Take in the Hogle Zoo or the Museum of Fine Arts with its beautiful and wide range of works. While the skiing is certainly top-notch in Salt Lake City, don't miss the Clark Planetarium, equipped with Utah’s first 3D IMAX Theater. Or if you’d like to venture farther, a number of air tours to famous natural wonders like Arches National Park, the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone operate out of Salt Lake City.
Ride a tram up to 9,000 feet in the Wasatch Mountains for unforgettable views and photos. Take a trip to the Great Salt Lake, an inland sea that’s responsible for the city’s name. During winter, piles of dry snow smother the Wasatch, providing excellent downhill skiing at seven large resorts within 45 minutes of downtown, including Alta, Solitude, Snowbird and Brighton.īut if skiing’s not your thing or you prefer to visit in warmer months, there’s still plenty to see and do in nature. With its idyllic peaks and ski conditions, it’s no surprise that Salt Lake City has played host to the Winter Olympic Games along with a number of other world cup and championship events.
