Unpredictable Weather In Utah
Utah is notoriously unpredictable when it comes to weather. Weather forecasts change constantly. While packing, always bring at least a variety of weather-appropriate clothing. You may come for skiing at the resorts, yet have 70 degree weather at the airport. You may head south for warm outdoor adventures and get hit by a northern cold front moving through.

Timpanogos Cave National Monument
Tickets go quickly for this attraction. Even with there being an extensive hike, it's a busy place. Book in advance.

Fry Sauce
Fry Sauce is as definitively Utah as Temple Square. What is it? Basically ketchup and mayo combo. Some restaurants have their own variations and additions, but it's definitely worth trying!

Good Coffee is Rare!
Bring your own and brew before heading out, or stick to strictly coffee shops to purchase. Most general restaurants aren't going to have good coffee. Coffee is not culturally something many Utahns consume.
