Things To Do
Visit Salt Lake
The Visit Salt Lake website has endless recommendations and information about Salt Lake City and the greater Salt Lake area. Visit this website to get to know more about accommodations, attractions, and SLC history.
Silver Lake - Big Cottonwood Canyon
Easy and flat 2 mile hike/walk around a beautiful high alpine lake at the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon (BCC to the locals). Swing by the nature center for some history and facts from the area. For food, stop at the Silver Creek lodge on the way back down the Canyon, or head through Guardsman's Pass to return via Park City!
Rattlesnake Gulch in Millcreek Canyon
Where we got engaged! Rattlesnake Gulch is a beautiful hike up Millcreek Canyon, 10 minutes from downtown SLC. The trees should hopefully be in full fall splendor. (Note Millcreek has a $5 fee per vehicle). For a hike closer to the hotel, we recommend the Living Room. Feel free to reach out if you more information on hiking and we will be happy to recommend many more trails.
Level Crossing Brewing Co
Our favorite brewery stop when we are in the mood for pizza. Our go-to move is to split the Ohhh, Honey pizza and G.O.A.T Sandwich. Yummm. (Licensed as a 21+ bar). For a family-friendly brewery, we recommend checking out Avenues Proper (licensed as a restaurant so you are legally required to purchase at least an appetizer...because Utah)
High West Saloon
One of the cooler bars in Park City. An old mining house turned distillery boasts incredible cocktails and amazing food! (Licensed as a 21+ bar). We recommend exploring Park City for a day, checking out some small hikes near the base of the resort and exploring the neat shops on main street.
Hub and Spoke Diner
Look no further for a delicious brunch! Can get crowded on the weekends but worth the wait. Check out the Pulled Pork Benedict or the Vegan Hash.
Snowbird
Enjoy the outdoors but don't want to trudge up a mountain? Take the tram up to the top of Hidden Peak at the Snowbird resort. In September you can also take advantage of Snowbird's Oktoberfest, mountain coasters, and scenic spa.
Utah National Parks Road Trip
5-7 DAY TRIP If you are visiting for a few extra days and are looking for a desert adventure, check out Utah's many national parks. Arches and Canyonlands National Parks are a 3 hour drive south from SLC, while Capitol Reef, Bryce, and Zion are a little over four hours from SLC. Each park is truly spectacular. You may even catch us on this road trip after the wedding!
