Summer In Salt Lake City

If you are so adamant in not extending your geography of the US, you did probably know only cities like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago or Washington. You would most likely not know (perhaps not bother to know) the existence of smaller metros like Salt Lake City! Being the capital city of the state of Utah, Salt Lake (and the entire state of Utah) is indeed rich in culture, events and entertainment.

If you think only metros like New York or Los Angeles can provide all the entertainment in the world, then plausibly you are mistaken. Here is the list of great entertainment places in and around Salt Lake City that is both affordable and adorable. It has every thing from mountain ranges to lakes to gardens.

One of the greatest places that always fascinated me in Salt Lake City is the Wasatch Mountains. The ride to the mountains in summer, spring or fall is bewitching. This mountain range has its share of greenery besides the numerous lakes it carries. Almost half the way in the top of the mountain, you have picnic spots that can be booked in advance. Utahans come with their family and spend the weekend there. Each picnic spot contains a place to put your tents, a place to cook and sit and have your food together. If you need a weekend to spend amidst nature and that too by not going very far and also enjoy the togetherness of your family, Wasatch is the place to check it out!

With the whole city in a valley, there is no inadequacy of mountains! Which means there is one more mountain adventure to plan for. Its Timpanogos Caves located in Mount Timpanogos. With a drive that is as usual captivating, you reach a place from where you start hiking up the hill. After a hike for about 45 minutes, you are given a guided tour inside those living caves. If you are looking for an adventurous, drill filled day, Timpanogos is the right choice.

If you like lakes, rivers and seas, Salt Lake City has its share of lakes too. Salt Lake and Bear Lake are 2 lakes in and around Salt Lake City, where boating and other water sports are popular and entertaining. To make a normal weekend interesting and to get some scratch of knowledge, you can visit the museum and the Hoogle zoo - 2 notable places in Salt Lake City.

Of course there is always the downtown with all its glitz and glamour, however mingling with Mother Nature and enjoying her beauty is incomparable!

Quite a 5 hr drive from Salt Lake, we have some of the wonderful places to visit - Yellow Stone national park that is famous for its natural geysers and the Bryce Canyons that is famous for the architectural feats of Mother Nature herself. If you plan to go to a place per month, the “summer fun planner” in Salt Lake is easy and exciting to execute!
