Things To Do
9th and 9th Neighborhood
LOTS of stores for shopping, coffee shops, gift shops, small businesses, ice cream/gelato. Very walkable :)
Sugar House Park
If you're looking for a nice morning or evening stroll while you're in town, this park has the BEST view of the mountains :)
Ensign Peak Trailhead
Short but somewhat steep hike (definitely doable). We take all of our visitors here to get a view of the valley :)
Living Room Trail
This is a tough but doable hike for those not used to being in high elevation :) You get a great view of the Salt Lake valley!
Guardsman Pass
This is a scenic drive that you can take from SLC to Park City. It's closed from November-June so this would be a great time to see all of the fall colors in the mountains. We take this drive AT LEAST twice a year to take in all of the views. You will pass Brighton Ski Resort and Solitude Ski Resort. You can also stop at Silver Fork Lodge for food but it is mediocre!!
Red Butte Garden Amphitheatre
Indoor/outdoor garden close to the mountains!
The Cliff Spa
This is a spa located at the ski resort Snowbird up Little Cottonwood Canyon. You can purchase a massage, facial, or take a fitness class (yoga) and get all day access to the spa! There is a pool and hot tub outside and great views. Highly recommend if you're looking to treat yourself <3
Loki Coffee - Salt Lake, Utah
In the 9th&9th neighborhood! Try the banana bread (Lauren loves it)!!!!
Rawbean Coffee
This is a drive thru coffee shop - they have a bunch of locations. Cheap, good coffee and yummy breakfast burritos!
Gourmandise
Yummy brunch spot with delicious pastries/desserts
Eva's Bakery
Located on Main Street (lots of bars, restaurants, and coffee shops here, too). Close to the mall, delicious coffee and pastries!
Emigration Cafe
Yummy food. Get the cinnamon roll!!!!
Ruth's Diner
Cozy and cute diner in the mountains! Homemade biscuits and jam so yummy
Gracie's
Fun brunch spot/bar/restaurant with a rooftop. The food is good and it's nice to sit outside and have some mimosas if you're into that :)
Lake Effect
A 3 level bar (basement - cocktail lounge, ground floor - live music & food, top floor - DJ/club vibe) in downtown SLC!
Van Ryder
Rooftop bar with small bites and amazing views! Perfect spot for ~golden hour~ ♥
Sapa
A great place to get sushi in SLC. They don't take reservations, you have to go to their website and get added to their waitlist. We recommend checking the website about an hour before you go to put your name in :)
Caffé Molise
Italian food!
East High School
*This is where High School Musical was filmed hehe*
Emigration Brewing Co.
Small and romantic vibe - wood fired pizzas, steaks, salads, wine, and good times!
Park City - Main Street
If you're able to travel about 30 minutes away from SLC, Park City has a lot of great things to see, too. Main Street is an entire strip of restaurants, bars, boutiques, gift shops, etc. Our favorite spots are No Name Saloon, The Eating Establishment, The Spur, The Bridge, High West, Butcher's Chop House, 501 on Main, and have heard great things about Grappa :)
Antelope Island State Park
Fun to drive through, hike short trails, and see bison :)
