So if you are looking for a place to enjoy and relax that allows you to partake of your medical cannabis, Salt Lake City certainly fits the bill.
There are few cities that have access to the range of both natural and historic attractions that Salt Lake City does. From hiking and skiing trails to vast libraries and historic sites and a popular food culture worth exploring, you will not lack options to fill up your itinerary.
Explore temple square
While in Salt Lake City, take the time to explore the Temple Square, which is officially the headquarters of the Mormons, also known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. At the very heart of Salt Lake City, this walled neighborhood is host to impressive religious buildings like the Salt Lake Temple , the expansive Tabernacle, as well as the Gothic-style Assembly Hall that tell the story of the development and history of the Mormon church.
From the square, you can stop by the Family History Library, which is the largest library of genealogy in the world. Finally, strolling through the square’s beautiful gardens and soaring sculptures and past its gurgling fountains will complete your memorable tour of the square.
Enjoy the ecosystem of the great Salt Lake
This will just be the tip of the iceberg. There’s a lot more to see and do: Apart from giving Salt Lake City its name, the Great Salt Lake is a charming water body that hosts an envious array of natural ecosystems and is a birdwatcher’s dream because of the refuge it grants unique migrating birds such as American Avocets, Golden Eagles, and Barn Owls. And what’s more? It is also the largest saltwater lake in the whole of the Western Hemisphere. Along this lake are picnicking and camping sites, and adventurous hiking trails.
Bird-watch at the snowbird ski resort
If you are a stickler for adrenaline-charged activities, then Salt Lake is ideal for an adrenaline-fueled day trip. A visit to the Snowbird Ski Resort in the winter will give you access to one of the best skiing slopes, a close rival to those in Colorado. This ski resort sprawls across 2,500 acres and has a 3,240-ft vertical drop featuring 169 runs which any skier whether novice or advanced, would find quite enthralling.
Ski at park city mountain resort
Another great skiing attraction in Park City Mountain Resort, which is also ideal for snowboarders and skiers of all skill levels. If you are not yet an experienced skier, expert instructors are on hand to ensure you get off to a great start. To dig into the rich foodie culture of Salt Lake City, several restaurants on-site will ensure your day lacks for nothing. If you are an art connoisseur and skiing is not your cup of tea, Park City still has just the right attraction for you and you can wander into its many art museums and galleries.
These ski resorts are not only a load of fun in the winter, but they also feature several warm-weather activities like fishing, zip-lining, biking, and hiking. Views from 2,900 feet aboard the scenic aerial tram are another memorable sight that will be well worth the butterflies in your tummy.
Try some whitewater rafting at the Weber and Provo Rivers
Another adrenaline-charged activity for the summer is whitewater rafting. Utah as a whole is very famous for its adventurous river rafting runs and Salt Lake City does not disappoint in this area. The Weber River and Provo River will start you off on a great rafting adventure, after which you can kayak and hike along the beautiful trails.
Test your nature photography skills
If you are a nature enthusiast, Salt Lake City has great offerings in store for you as well. The nearby Wasatch National Forest is a cross-hatch of scenic trails in which you can bike, hike, or even have a beautiful drive through its flora and fauna with stunning views of the Nephi and Utah valleys. Carry your camera and sturdy walking shoes so that you can experience and record all that these abundant forest trails offer. In the neighborhood of this forest is the Big Cottonwood Canyon, which houses two ski resorts, the Solitude and the Brighton, and is also known for rock climbing, hiking, and mountain climbing.
Up for some geology
If you are interested in geology, you can visit Clark Planetarium, which features exhibits on everything about earth and its environs. From stepping inside a giant tornado to making a volcano, the experiences are mind-boggling. You can also see “a 6-foot Rand McNally Earth Globe” and one of the biggest real moon rocks to make a public display and pay a visit to the Lunar Lander exhibit where you can learn a ton concerning the forces of inertia, gravity, and acceleration. The Hansen Dome and the Northrop Grumman IMAX theaters offer shows about everything from cosmic light to volcanos and moon landings.
Take the children to the zoo
Children in your entourage are likely to enjoy the over 800 different animals found in the Hogle Zoo. You can get up close with the animals and feed the rhinos, gorillas, and giraffes for an additional fee. There is even an African elephant named Zuri that was born at the zoo in 2019, which is part of the African Savanna Exhibit along with zebras, ostriches, African lions, and giraffes.
Don’t miss some escape room fun
If you are up for fun group activities, you can try out the “escape room”, a modern set-up that’s getting more popular by the day. Your teammates can be anyone from your friends or family members to complete strangers also looking for an adventure. Trapped with just your teammates and your combined wits in an enclosed space, find clues and solve puzzles to find an escape within the allotted time. You can find several brain-teasing “escape rooms” across Salt Lake City which are guaranteed to give you and your chosen teammates a hoot.
