On this trip, Salt Lake City was just a pit stop on my way back to Sacramento, but I should highlight it since I have spent a bit of time here in the past. Two of my college friends moved here after college (non-LDS), and I was able to travel out several times including trips to Park City for Sundance and going to the private clubs and state liquor stores. It was nice to get back to the big city after spending a week in the near wilderness.
Downtown Salt Lake City is much nicer than most people would think. Most of the SLC is non-LDS so there are many bars and entertainment similar to other cities. My hotel was right next to Squatters, a local microbrewery the best 4% alcohol beer you will ever have. Utah state law only allows draught beer to have 4% ABV even the microbrews. You can purchase the higher content stuff in bottles, but what's the fun in that?
After a night of 4% beer and fry sauce from Arctic Circle, I could have used a drink from the Jack Mormon Coffee Company pictured above - which is a great name for a coffee place in the SLC! It was finally time to speed across the salt flats and head back across three states to my home listening to the Giants try and beat the Dodgers, stopping in Sparks at the Scheels sports store. Enjoy the rest of my SLC pictures below.
