100 Things to Do in Salt Lake City Before You Die

Salt Lake City is a surprising city. Known traditionally as the world headquarters of the Church of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons) the city contradicts its straight-laced reputation. A clean, walkable, bike-able city, with a progressive city government, it attracts talented and creative people from all over the world, who see Salt Lake City as a blank canvas. Art, music and creativity are flourishing at the base of a vast outdoor playground, where all—Mormons, gentiles, sinners and Saints—mingle and mix to make a truly unique place in the West and the world. There is so much to see and do in this four-season destination. Rich in frontier history and bordered by the stunning Wasatch Range, Salt Lake City is a destination for the curious and active traveler. Come see Historic Temple Square, ski, snowboard or hike and bike in our mountains. You can even SCUBA dive at 8,000-feet above sea level. Let this book be your guide to the best that Salt Lake and Utah has to offer.
