Things To Do
Living Room Trail
If you want a relatively easy hike with a great view, we highly recommend this!
Fifth Water Hot Springs Trail Head
If you want to experience a beautiful hike amongst red rock with a rewarding hot spring in a river at your destination, this is the hike for you.
Antelope Island State Park
A great place to experience the Great Salt Lake, see wild buffalo & antelope, with a view of the Wasatch range. $10 entrance fee per vehicle.
Park City Main Street Historic District
If you want to experience a cute and lively ski town, Park City is the one for you! Shopping, dining, and great nightlife await you on Main Street in Park City, Utah.
Big Cottonwood Canyon
Have time for a drive? Head up Big Cottonwood Canyon and check out Donut Falls. Who knows, you may see a moose!
Little Cottonwood Canyon
Checking out Big Cottonwood Canyon, we also recommend Little Cottonwood Canyon which is just as stunning!
Emigration Canyon
Scenic drive to Emigration Brewing Co & Ruth's Diner - both highly recommended.
Tradition
The place where we get our southern food fix!
One More Noodle House 来一碗
Best Asian noodle restaurant in the city!
Arlo Restaurant
Super delicious restaurant in the Capital Hill neighborhood. Highly recommend sitting out on the patio!
Log Haven
Looking for a romantic dinner spot? This amazing restaurant has been the spot for mine & Matt's anniversary every year that we've been in Utah.
Moab
Check out Moab, only 3.5 hours from SLC. You can easily visit Canyonlands & Arches National Parks if Moab is your home base! Great off-roading, mountain biking, and hiking near by as well. Highly recommend hiking Fisher Towers, Corona Arch, & Grand Staff Canyon Reach out to Paige if you're looking for a good camping spot and for other recommended hikes!
Arches National Park
Check out the famous Delicate Arch with a short hike and Paige's personal favorite, Double Arch to catch one of the best sunsets you'll ever see. With all of these National Parks, they are best visited on week days to avoid the crowds.
Canyonlands National Park
Paige's second all-time favorite National Park. HIGHLY recommend the White Rim Road if you rent a high clearance vehicle. You can do the entire 100 mile drive in a day but bring extra gas! You can also do an out and back. I recommend starting at Shafer. Day use permits can be obtained the day before. Reach out to Paige for more details! Otherwise, visit the Isle In The Sky section of Canyonlands for a bird's eye view of this massive and impressive canyon.
Capitol Reef National Park
The least visited of the Mighty Five Utah National Parks but this park does not disappoint. Highly recommend renting an off-road vehicle and driving the 75 mile Cathedral Valley loop. No permit required but this is very remote so please come prepared!
Zion National Park
Paige's favorite National Park of all time. Highly recommend renting gear to hike The Narrows from bottom up, out & back (no permit required). Or scoring a permit to hike the infamous Angel's Landing. This park is rather crowded and requires a shuttle bus to access the canyon. Wake-up early and catch the first shuttle bus to avoid the crowds!
Bryce Canyon National Park
Bryce Canyon National Park is located about an hour from Zion. Highly recommend this out of this world park. Numerous amazing hikes through hoodoos and other interesting land features. You honestly can't go wrong with any of the trails here but I personally recommend Navajo Loop, Queen's Garden, Peekaboo and Wall Street (which all of these can be combined).
