Before I moved out west, Utah was such an unknown and mystical destination. It just wasn't a state we really talk about here in New England. Prior knowledge: Utah= strange place full of Sister Wives and Park City is where people go skiing. Current knowledge: Mormons are there yes, Park City is wonderful, the rest of Utah has some amazing skiing, the city itself is clean and beautiful with mountain views all around, the culture is bizarro, the liquor laws are mind-boggling, everyone is so fit, and it is truly the outdoor lover's paradise.
Best way to wrap it all up? Salt Lake City has one of the country's best backyards - it's called the Wasatch. The reason it didn't turn into a better Denver? The culture keeps this city a little in the dark (and everyone kind of likes it that way).
My thoughts on Salt Lake City changed quickly that first trip out to visit Thatcher in 2014 and Salt Lake City is always going to be one of those places that leaves me a little spellbound. Let's be honest, so much happened in this city.
