Browning museum, tour SilencerCo, hike to some hot springs, Chick-fil-a and In-N-Out in the same day, hike to Ensign Peak, Bonneville Salt Flats (if you visit at the right time of the year), eat some Pie Pizza if you like your cheese thicker than the crust, say hello to NutnFancy, etc.

Secretly, probably. That part was kind of a joke but his lives down by SLC south I believe. His buddy (PFI dude) owns a gun shop north of SLC. Firearms Pro in Layton.

All good suggestions, I will add:

Golden Spike National Historic Site.

While you are out there visit the ATK Rocket Garden

Spiral Jetty Hike

Bring and drink a Spiral Jetty Beer when you are there.



Then hit "the Browning museum" on the way back, its really not alot of a museum and can see everything in about 45 minutes or 2 hours if you are a slow reader.

It for sure isn't THE Gun Museum - but that is in Oklahoma.

The railroad museum is more robust and ties in well with the Golden Spike visit.


Go shoot on PUBLIC LANDS for FREE.

Hike, Hike and Hike some more!

Then drink delicious beer and eat good food.

Utah is a neat place, but its really an outdoorsy type of place.

Not so much stuff to see but more stuff to do in the outdoors.

Golf is relatively inexpensive, but there can be some CRAZY winds that pop-up!!!

Can't believe none of you have recommended Red Iguana yet. I'm not a big fan of Mexican but RI is incredible.

I suppose if one considers Tex-Mex to be real Mexican food.  You go to the Red Iguana for moles, not that cheese -slathered crap that passes for Mexican most places.

The JM Davis Gun Museum is freaking amazing.  Well worth a trip.

EPIC BEER.

Epic beer got its craft as Utah "was" a 3.2% ABV for beer or malt beverages brewed in Utah only, state for the longest time.  Higher alcohol content tend to hide tastes by diminishing the palate.  So to craft beer in Utah worthy of consideration at competitions outside of Utah, Epic REALLY had to focus their skills in brewing up tasty craft beer with amazing bouquets.  

Then Utah finally allowed brewers to brew "strong beer" in excess of 4.0% ABV (Thus becoming LIQUOR for 'state controlled & taxed purposes') and then Epic exploded onto the arena with a craft brewing skillset that really blasted the competition.  Hence where they are now.  Winning awards and brewing internationally recognized beers.

Sadly, they have moved 'some' operations over to Colorado and there is talk that they may shutter the Utah side of the business due to an antagonistic tax structure and anti-alcohol enforcement of draconian & out-dated laws.

Utah's alcohol laws are exceptionally asinine and ignorant.  But, at least we don't have 'BLUE LAWS' making all alcohol sales verboten on Sunday...

One of the tricks to get COLD STRONG BEER is to go to Epics Restaurant THE ANNEX (1048 East 2100 South, Salt Lake City, UT) and get the Strong Beer "to go"...  

Its ALWAYS kept cold too!  Unlike through the State Alcohol store where NO ALCOHOL is ALLOWED to be sold CHILLED....  Stupid....
