Things To Do
Spitz Restaurant
Spitz has several locations in Salt Lake City, so there will likely be one close by if you are out and about! This fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant also has craft beer and cocktails, and tons of veg friendly options. We recommend the Street Cart fries.
Squatters Pub
We love Squatters craft beers! The downtown pub has great food and a fun brewery ambiance with a screened in patio.
Red Iguana
Bustling, family-run Mexican cafe serving signature mole plus traditional and gluten-free favorites. This place is always poppin', but it is worth the wait!
Porcupine Pub & Grille
Cozy restaurant serving pub fare, microbrews & brunch in a casual, lodgelike setting. This is a popular post-ski/hike destination as it is right at the bottom of Big Cottonwood Canyon.
Park City Main Street Historic District
About 45 minutes from Salt Lake City, Park City is a beautiful ski town with tons of delicious restaurants and small businesses. Park City hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics and is home to the Sundance Film Festival.
Antelope Island State Park
Antelope Island is home to free-ranging bison, mule deer, bighorn sheep, pronghorn (antelope), and many other desert animals. Hike, mountain bike or horseback ride the park’s backcountry trails for spectacular views of lake and wildlife!
Red Butte Garden
Red Butte Garden and Arboretum consists of a botanical garden, arboretum, and amphitheatre operated by the University of Utah. This is super close to our wedding venue and the Marriott where we have our wedding block!
Living Room Trail
This is a moderate 2 mile 'out and back hike' that ends with rock "chairs" overlooking the valley. The trailhead is close to our venue and the Marriott where we have our room block. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/utah/the-living-room-lookout-trail
Bonneville Shoreline Trail
The Bonneville Shoreline Trail follows what was the shoreline of ancient Lake Bonneville. There are tons of places to hop on and off the trail, and you can go as far as you like while overlooking the valley. There is a spot to get on the trail very close to our venue and the Marriott where we have our block. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/utah/bonneville-shoreline-trail-loophttps://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/utah/bonneville-shoreline-trail-university-of-utah-to-emigration-canyon-road
Ensign Peak Trailhead
Ensign Peak is a small mountain peak at the north end of the Salt Lake Valley, above the State Capitol building with amazing city views. This is a short .8 mile hike, but it is steep! Recommended for a beautiful sunset over the valley.
Salt Lake City Tabernacle
Regardless of faith this is a neat area to visit and see while in town.
Snowbird
If you want to get some ski turns in while you're in the mountains it's probably not too late depending on our snowpack to have an awesome day up at Snowbird. Even if you're not a skier, you can take a beautiful drive up Little Cottonwood Canyon and hike around.
Corner Canyon
As most of you know, we both love mountain biking and our go-to spot close to home is Corner Canyon in Draper. May is the perfect time to enjoy these trails and there are numerous shops in the valley to rent bikes from.
