The city's many restaurants and bars are also great places to warm up after a day out in the cold. There are also a number of other winter activities to enjoy, such as snowshoeing, ice skating, and tubing.
The city is home to a number of ski resorts, including world-famous Park City. You can also go hiking or camping in the nearby mountains or take a trip to one of Utah's beautiful national parks.Īlthough it can be bitterly cold, but there are still plenty of things to do in Salt Lake City in the winter. There are lots of fun events happening this time of year, like Oktoberfest at Snowbird, art walks, and concerts. The fall is a great time to visit Salt Lake City because the leaves change color and the air is cool and crisp.
In the evenings, you can enjoy live music and drinks on downtown's Historic Main Street or watch a movie under the stars at one of the city's parks. There's also a great farmers market every Saturday morning where you can buy local produce and crafts. In the spring and summer in Salt Lake City, you can go hiking or biking in the nearby mountains or visit one of the city's many parks. The photo below shows parts of the salt crust cracking and forming ruts in the mud.Some destinations are only worth visiting for part of the year, but not Salt Lake City. If we had more time, we would’ve done sunset at the rest stop, spent the night in Wendover, and shot sunrise the next morning at the speedway. The I-80 is heavily-patrolled by Idaho State Troopers, and the speed limit is 75mph… so traffic is flying. While some people illegally use the “emergency vehicle only” U-turn options, it’s a risk.
While you can easily get back on the I-80 heading east… the next closest exit you can use to turn around is half-an-hour away! So it’ll literally take an hour to get from the speedway back to the rest stop… even though “as the crow flies” it’s only four miles. If you decide to then go to the speedway site, be prepared for a long drive back around to the rest stop. If you’re driving from SLC, you’ll hit the rest stop first. The I-80 doesn’t have exits in the area which allow you to easily go between the two sites. This is important to keep in mind: if you’re aiming for sunset photos, you need to pick one of the spots ahead of time and commit.
