Tips from the community

We know Salt Lake City has mountains, forests, deserts, and salt flats, but did you know Salt Lake City has an island you can visit?! From Salt Lake City to Antelope Island, you're looking at an hour and a half drive there, some of which you're driving across the Great Salt Lake! At Antelope Island, you'll encounter acre upon acre of open land filled with free-roaming wildlife. ✈ My pups and I personally enjoy the dog-friendly trails around the island, so don't forget to bring your furry friends and their leashes!

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!
