Great local restaurant that kind of looks like a dive in a local strip mall. But the menu is affordable, the staff is great, and the food is delicious.

Great local restaurant at the base of Big Cottonwood Canyon with a German culinary beer garden theme. It's a little bit of a hike from the house but it's worth it if you're visiting. Try the nachos. They're great, no joke.

If you've never been to Utah, Little Cottonwood Canyon is a must see! 2 world class ski resorts (Alta & Snowbird) that you can't go wrong with, dozens of hiking and biking trails, great views, and some really fun festivities around the snowbird area in summer or winter.

The most accessible large canyon in the SLC valley with 2 world class ski resorts (Brighton and Solitude) and dozens of world class biking and hiking trails as well as climbing routes. The canyon is usually easiest to get to by taking i-15 northbound and then connecting to i-215, but you can get there just as quickly and easily by taking side roads instead of the interstate.
You almost always run into moose on hikes in this canyon. We would highly recommend the Lake Blanche hike and either ski resort is good. Beware that solitude charges for parking though.

Tips for getting around
Most anything of note is within a 20 min drive from the house. Avoid i-15 during rush hour if you can, but traffic isn't bad no matter the time any where else.
If you don't have a car, the closest trax station is the Civic center station and it's a 15 min walk from the house and that will connect you to all of the public transport in the city.
