Southwest® flights to Salt Lake City starting at $43

But if you’re more interested in seeing Earth’s splendor outside of the museums, Salt Lake City is the perfect basecamp for exploring the natural landscape. Spend the day outside on one of many close-to-town trails like Ensign Peak Trail. This is a nice, easy trail that most hikers, regardless of age or experience, will find enjoyable. The views from the back side of the trail are incredible, especially at sunset, with the Great Salt Lake seen off in the distance and a stunning view of the entire Salt Lake Valley below. The Brighton Lakes Trail offers hikers classic Wasatch Range scenery and the ability to shorten or lengthen the hike as desired. While on your walk, you might stumble upon three lady lakes—Mary, Catherine, and Martha—whose pristine waters are part of Salt Lake City’s water supply.

For those up to the challenge, the Wasatch Crest Trail provides a selection of more strenuous climbing options. With its 360-degree, high-alpine views, the trail offers plenty of photo-worthy moments for hikers. But if you would rather get a taste of nature without heading too far outside of Salt Lake, check out the Red Butte Garden within city limits. Filled with precisely landscaped plots, pristine fountains, and lovely pathways, the Red Butte Garden is an exciting place for botany enthusiasts and any visitor looking for a serene afternoon walk. The garden is divided into sections, each devoted to a specific type of plant or ecosystem that will keep you entertained for hours.
