Insider Tips

  • Utah has complex liquor laws — look for restaurants with a full-service license to order freely
  • TRAX light rail connects the airport to downtown for $2.50 and runs to ski resorts in winter
  • Temple Square is free to explore — the architecture and gardens are worth an hour
  • Ski resorts (Park City, Alta, Snowbird) are 40 minutes away with the Greatest Snow on Earth
