If your travels take you to northern Utah, then experiencing the Great Salt Lake is a must-see. The scenic interplay of the lake's pristine water reflecting the sky's colorful displays is something that everyone should witness for themselves. With outdoor areas for camping as well as a large number of nature trails and walking paths, this natural jewel should be an essential part of any trip to the area.
Utah's Hogle Zoo was founded back in 1931 at the mouth of Emigration Canyon and it remains one of the most visited attractions in Utah. There are over 800 animals in residence. Among the many must-see specimens are the five endangered species of Asian cats, African elephants and white rhinos. And, the little ones will take delight in riding on the Conservation Carousel, featuring hand-painted models of endangered or threatened animals, so it's fun and educational at the same time.
If you enjoy a good stage production, why not take the opportunity to experience one of Salt Lake City's truly unique performing groups. Plan-B Theatre takes pride in not only presenting a wide range of satirical and comedic entertainment, they almost exclusively spotlight the work of Utah playwrights. Their contagious enthusiasm and magnetic performances set them apart, and they remain one of Salt Lake City's most revered group of thespians.
