5 Experiences You Can’t Miss in Salt Lake City — Including One That Will Leave You Feeling Unstoppable

Salt Lake City is one of the most unexpected gems in the country—where mountain adventure meets vibrant city life and pure magic happens in between.
If you’re planning a trip, don’t just pass through—experience it fully.
Here’s what you absolutely need to do to soak it all in:

1. Eat Your Way Through the City
Salt Lake’s food scene has quietly (and fiercely) leveled up in recent years—and it’s something you need to experience firsthand.
Think cozy coffee shops, craft breweries, farm-to-table restaurants, and world-class bakeries tucked into downtown streets.
Grab brunch at a local favorite, try an artisan pizza with mountain views, and don't skip the homemade ice cream.
Come hungry—and stay curious. Every meal here feels a little more personal.

2. Hit the Slopes (or At Least the Après-Ski)
Salt Lake City sits just a short drive from some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the world.
With legendary resorts like Alta, Snowbird, and Brighton in your backyard, even beginners can find their winter magic.
And if you’re not into skiing?
There’s always après-ski—fire pits, hot toddies, and cozy mountain vibes that’ll make you feel like a snow queen regardless.

From Donut Falls to Lake Blanche to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail—you’ll find yourself falling a little more in love with every step.

5. Spend a Day in Park City
