AN AMATEUR ADVENTURER
A LOCAL'S GUIDE TO VISITING SALT LAKE CITY
THOUGH IT'S NOT AS POPULAR AS GATEWAY OR CITY CREEK. MY FAVORITE MALL IN SALT LAKE WILL ALWAYS BE TROLLEY SQUARE IT'S INSIDE ONE OF THE COOLEST BUILDINGS EVER AND HAS TWO OF MY FAVROITE STORES CABIN FEVER (A POP CULTURE HEAVEN) AND SAM WELLERS BOOK STORE.
THE UTAH MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART ENTERANCE PRICE IS WHATEVER YOU'RE WILLING TO DONATE, BUT BE GENEROUS. IT'S ALL LOCALARTISTS AND THEY'VE HAD SOME OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE EXHIBITS.
EVEN THOUGH, THIS IS ABOUT TWO HOURS OUT OF SALT LAKE, THE BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS ARE ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES. FILMING SPOT OF MANY MUSIC VIDEOS. THIS PERFECTLY WHITE FLAT PIECE OF DESSERT IS A FUN STOP.
IF YOU'RE VISITING OVER THE SUMMER, YOU HAVE TO CHECK OUT TWILIGHT CONCERT SERIES. ONLY FIVE DOLLARS A TICKET AND THEY ALWAYS GET AWESOME BANDS LINED UP. THIS IS A PHOTO I TOOK OF JAMIE HINCE DURING A KILLS SHOW.
EVER SINCE THE REMODEL A COUPLE YEARS AGO UTAH HOGLE ZOO IS A REALLY FUN PLACE TO VISIT! KATIE AND I WERE LUCKY ENOUGH THAT A SUPER NICE ZOO KEEPER LET US MEET AND FEED THIS BEAUTIFUL GIRAFFE.
IF YOU'RE VISITNG IN THE WINTER DON'T FRET. NOT ONLY CAN YOU HEAD UP TO PARK CITY AND GO SKIING BUT IF YOU STAY IN THE CITY YOU GET TO SEE THE BEAUTIFUL SNOW WE GET HERE.
IF YOU'RE A ROLLER COASTER FANATIC LIKE ME HEAD OVER TO LAGOON AMUSMENT PARK. THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN FROM THE SKI LIFT DURING A HUGE RAIN STORM. HOWEVER EVEN IN THE RAIN IT'S A SUPER FUN PLACE TO GO.
SALT LAKE CITY FILM SOCIETY IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT THIS CITY. TOWER THEATER HAS TWO SMALL THEATERS. THEY SHOW NEW RELEASES AND ALSO SOME CLASSIC FILMS. BROADWAY THEATER IS RIGHT DOWNTOWN, AND SHOWS NEW INDIPENDENT FILMS. AND BONUS THE CONSETION STAND HAS A BUNCH OF LOCAL SNACKS.
