Utah

Truly a one-of-a-kind place, pioneered by Mormons & christened Deseret, its appeal lies in outdoor adventures (including lots of skiing) & dramatic desert vistas. Salt Lake City has historic sites aplenty -- & these days even a bit of a hip scene!

Zion National Park cited in '7 Gorgeous Glamping Destinations'

How beautiful to imagine yourself in a camp locates in a glorious camp surrounded by beautiful environs. Singing and romancing on cold nights sitting around the fireside, staring on the stars in silent surroundings listening to the sounds of little creatures, basking on the lavish mattress, all that makes you dream to discover what camping in the glorious destinations of the world means. Morocco was the first place where I got the idea to experience the difference of international "glamping" -…

Speaking to my fellow Europeans, if you’ve gone skiing or snowboarding on the Continent but not yet in North America, you’re in for a real treat. Welcome to an unexpected world in which everyone seems to be intent upon you having a good time. Take ski school for example - in Europe, some still have the attitude “You are here to learn first, have fun second.” Whilst in North America it’s the other way around. For this is a world where “standing in line” (queuing) has been raised to a virtual…

Wow, just a few days ago one of the state's largest newspapers, the Deseret News, reeled off a list of 101 things to in Utah. Of course, it's literally a laundry list, so you've got to research what looks interesting. But still, a good starting point: https://www.deseret.com/utah/2023/2/25/23592936/utah-road-trip-vaca...

Back in my ski days, before heading off to Brianhead, we'd tell ourselves "eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we'll be in Utah." Well, actually, it's not that bad. It's rather pleasant in reality. Today at The World on Wheels, we spend a couple nights in the capitol of the Latter Day Saints, Salt Lake City: http://tinyurl.com/bsobst4

I'll try it again Darryl when I take ski trip nxt winter.
Darryl Musick April 16, 2011 at 5:55am

Unfortunately, I only had less than an hour to visit so I didn't get too deep. It seems you can find just about any record available though.

Downtown Salt Lake City’s major revitalization development project, City Creek Center, to be completed in March of 2012. It's sustainable design features a fully retractable roof and a walkable urban mix of offices, residences and shops that will make SLC one of few cities in the nation with such a sophisticated level of mixed-use development at its core. The project will be completed in March 2012. Check out the virtual tour video! Contact me for more.

Key architectural and design features:

http://http://www.shopcitycreekcenter.com/scc/31478.html* Full Retractable Glass Roof

* Recreation of Historic City Creek, the iconic waterway that once coursed through the city.
*Water Features by WET Design

* Pedestrian Skybridge, transparent but iconic, the glass walls of the bridge are etched with an artful, 3D-look leaf pattern that casts dappled shadows and evokes the natural setting.

*Major Utah funding makes it a totally debt-free development – even in this economy.
