Tips from the community

While we're talking scenic byways, Mirror Lake is a stunning drive that I have to share! From Salt Lake City to Kamas (where this beautiful byway begins) is only 45 minutes! From there, this 42 mile stretch of mountain passes, forest trails, alpine lakes, and waterfall wonders is a traveller's dream. Along this route, at mile marker 31, is Mirror Lake. This picture-perfect lake reflects the beauty of the mountains that words simply cannot recreate. ✈ There are many more stops along this mountain highway to stretch your legs and soak in the beauty!

    The state of Utah certainly has no shortage of scenic views, charming mountain towns, and epic must-do's. Luckily, most of the dreamy destinations of Utah are only a day's trip away from Salt Lake City! While travelling, I made a point to search for all of the hidden gems, historical wonders, and backcountry secrets while staying true to the nature of the state. As I share these must-see locations, it is important to be mindful of nature – practice safe driving, leave no trace, and plan ahead of time! Even though these destinations require some drive time, it's important to remember that the adventure is in the journey and not just the destination! Turn up the radio, roll down the windows, and enjoy your travels to and from Salt Lake City!
