Salt Lake City, UT, USA
Salt Lake City
Love the city, but also all about that #mountainlife? Salt Lake City, Utah’s capital, gives you the best of both worlds! The city is snuggled in the Salt Lake Valley and encircled by mountains—the most dramatic being the rugged Wasatch range. Known for having the “greatest snow on earth,” SLC is definitely a bucket-list destination for anyone who loves winter sports (nearly a foot of powder falls every 5 days during ski season). But once the snow melts, it reveals incredible hiking and biking trails all around the city and, of course, boating and camping at Great Salt Lake! Head downtown for a ton of “city” things to do, from walking with dinos at the Natural History Museum to taking in the beautiful harmonies of the world-famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
