The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate at elevation
Salt Lake City sits around 4,300 ft—drink water before and during the tour to avoid mild altitude headaches.
Wear city‑walking shoes
Expect paved sidewalks, some stairs, and light trails if you opt for Park City—sturdy shoes keep the day comfortable.
Plan for sun and wind
Bring sunscreen and a wind layer—winds off the Wasatch can be sudden, and UV is stronger at altitude.
Ask about accessibility
Tell the operator about mobility needs ahead of time so routes and pickup can be adjusted for ramps and minimal walking.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •The quiet rooftop garden at the Conference Center (seasonal access)

Conservation Note
The region faces water scarcity and air quality issues—travelers should use refillable bottles, stay on paved paths in sensitive areas, and respect local guidelines during drought seasons.
Salt Lake City was founded by Mormon pioneers in 1847; Brigham Young’s settlement pattern and irrigation systems shaped the valley’s grid and waterworks.
