Just wanted to drop in and say thanks for all of the suggestions. I had a blast in your beautiful city! Lucky 13, Bohemian Brewery, Pie Pizza, Pat's BBQ, Lone Star Taqueria, Wasatch Brew Pub... all amazing!
We did some hiking on Catherine Pass, Cecret Lake, and Desolation Trail. I was surprised at how much snow remains even in June. We also got to see the sunset from Ensign Peak. Did a little bit of rock climbing (my first time) in Big Cottonwood Canyon. I even got to take in a RSL game last weekend. We also spent some time up on Antelope Island. Saw lots of bison, but no antelope.
On Monday, we went to the Hill AFB museum. The executive pastor at my sister's church is a retired USAF colonel with 30 years of flying C-130's and he used to volunteer at the museum. He took us up there and gave us a kind of private guided tour. It certainly beat just walking around and reading the plaques. We also got to meet an old WWII pilot that flew C-47s during the Berlin Airlift. All around, that was a fun day. Afterwards he took us to the Gun Vault range we did a little shooting. I was disappointed when I heard him refer to AR15's as "assault weapons". Hey, nobody's perfect.
Everyone I met was super nice and welcoming. There were bicyclists everywhere. My only complaint would be that your roads are horrendous. I would imagine that the alignment shops and chiropractors stay busy. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and feel like I barely scratched the surface of things to do in SLC. I'll definitely be back again!
thanks again gents!
