What Can't You Do?!?

If you've never been to Salt Lake City and wondering what there is to do....here is just a one weekend sample...

1.  Bingham Canyon Mine....While the Great Salt Lake gets all the attention for it's massive size and being seven times saltier than the oceans it is this copper mine located just south of the lake and west of downtown SLC in the Oquirrh Mountains that is the only man made thing on earth that can be seen from outerspace.  The mine opened in 1903 and has been producing copper, gold, and silver among its many metals.  Today the mine is 2 3/4 miles wide.

2.  City Creek Mall....SLC's newest mall spans two full downtown blocks.  It has over 70 retailers with Macy's and Nordstrom serving as the anchor stores.  Porsche, Tiffany's, and Coach are among the many high end retailers in this new mall that features several fountains and a retractable roof.

3.  Concert City.....SLC has several incredible concert venues including three outdoor amphitheaters and two large arenas.  The top acts from around the world always find their way to SLC.  Imagine sitting at an outdoor garden in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains on a warm summer evening watching your favorite artists play their best songs.  I have done this twice in the last two weeks.

All of that in a weekend and I haven't even mentioned any of the outdoor recreational activities (hiking, biking, running, climbing, skiing, etc).
