Summer in Utah
Five National Parks are just the beginning…
Here are just some of the activities you’re going to love…
– Hiking : The mountains, waterfalls, hot springs, and wildlife make for some of the best hiking around.
Most of it right outside our front door.
– Biking : Road biking up the canyons or Bonneville shoreline, or mountain biking the ski resorts or the famous Slick Rock trail in Moab. It’s world class riding.
– Camping : There’s camping available at many of the parks and forests nearby ranging from wet camping (facilities including electricity, bathrooms and showers) to dry camping (no facilities, wilderness camping)
– Ballooning: Early-morning champagne balloon rides can be done in Heber Valley or Park City for around $100-150 per person.
– Horseback Riding: There’s horseback riding available in Little Cottonwood Canyon, as well as Park City and Heber Valley.
– Canoe/Raft/Tubing: The Weber River in Odgen and the Provo River are great places to go. Water flow is highest in May/June but due to melting snow you’ll likely need a wetsuit. Water temperature is best in Aug/Sept for just bathing suits.
– Boating/Jet Skiing: Besides the Great Salt Lake, there’s Utah Lake, Bear Lake, Jordanelle Reservoir, and Lake Powell.
– Scuba Diving: Yes Indeed! Right here in the middle of the desert. Seabase and Homestead Crater both have dive facilities.
– Music / Concerts: We have incredible concert venues, Usana Amphitheater, Red Butte Gardens, The Depot, The State Room, Gallivan Center, Great Saltair, Maverik Center, Vivint Arena, and our own concerts right here at 9708 Oakwood Lane.
– The Sports: Utah Jazz, Real Salt Lake, Utah Royals, Salt Lake Bees, Utah Grizzlies, Rocky Mountain Raceway and more!
