Utah is truly nature's playground—and Salt Lake is the perfect base camp. Enjoy hiking or mountain biking in local canyons just minutes from the city center or in nearby national parks. Explore lush forests on horseback or journey aloft in a hot-air balloon. Sit back and enjoy an aerial tour of nearby canyons or North America's saltiest lake. Or, stay in town for a round of golf or any number of professional sporting events.
