You may not have known (I didn’t realize this until recently) that the Tracy Aviary located on 8 acres in the heart of Salt Lake City is the largest of its kind in the United States. The Tracy Aviary is a new addition to the Connect Pass this summer and it could become a favorite for many who didn’t realize this gem exists just a short distance from Downtown.
Specifically the aviary is a part of Liberty Park and with all the trees surrounding it unless you’ve known it’s there you’ve probably missed it while driving by. But it’s been there for a long time…71 years to be exact. continue reading…
Located on Main Street adjacent to the Hotel Monaco, Bambara boasts a phenomenal new American bistro style menu.
With menu items ranging from grilled king salmon with beluga black lentils to roasted Colorado bison and onion cornbread pudding, the difficulty in narrowing down the entree choices is only exceeded by the temptation of Chef Power’s many delectable dessert options. continue reading…
Somehow Ski Salt Lake rolls off the tongue more naturally for many who visit Salt Lake each year but did you realize that Golf Salt Lake is just as easy and actually as convenient if not more so than the world class ski resorts in the Cottonwood Canyons? Who knew?
It’s been a longtime tradition of many locals and visitors alike who come in the spring time months of March, April and May to ski in the mornings and then finish off the day with a round of 18 holes in the afternoon. There are certainly few places in the country where you can pull that off with ease. continue reading…

Looking for a day hike near Moab with spectacular scenery that’s also dog-friendly?Check out Negro Bill Canyon – it’s a little more off the beaten path (not in the national parks), there’s no admission fee, and the perennial creek makes it hiker and canine friendly.continue reading…
Looking for a nearby day hike? Want a 360 degree view of the Salt Lake valley and the Wasatch? How about a nice spot to grill out, up in the hills? Consider taking a day hike up Grandeur Peak from the Church Fork picnic area, located in Mill Creek Canyon (3800 S).
One reason I’m happy to be in SLC: in the space of two weekends and as many city blocks, I was able to a) catch a hip hop band out of Portland, b) view a Sundance film, c) watch dance performances from various countries in Latin America and Central Africa, and d) talk with heirloom tomato and recycled glass jewelry experts. Oh, and all of this was free. continue reading…
The Downtown Salt Lake’s Farmers Market is one of my absolute favorite summertime activities. Offering a wide variety of locally grown or prepared fresh produce, meat, breads and pastries, artisan cheeses, and other prepared food and drink options. Held in Pioneer Park, vendors also sell indoor and garden plants, and handmade arts and crafts.
The Farmers Market is a delicious way to sample Salt Lake’s fresh produce and culinary offering and support the Buy Local Firstmovement.
When: Saturdays - June 13 - October 17, 2009 Time: 8:00 am to 1:00 pm
Where: Historic Pioneer Park (300 South & 300 West)
