I have lived all my life in Utah and it is truly a beautiful place. Even if you aren’t Mormon, it is an exceptional place to raise a family or just live for anyone who loves the outdoors. My neighborhood in Bountiful is nestled in the mountains and it’s a picturesque sight every morning

I’ve lived in SLC for 15+ years and I love it. Everyone first notices the Mormon culture and the wide variety of kick butt outdoor locations for sports, camping, photography, etc. However, one thing that many don’t know is that Utah has an amazing history of martial arts and some superb training facilities.

Martial art legend Ed Parker (trained Elvis in marital arts, assisted Bruce Lee in become big in the US) – set up his first school here in Utah, where Kenpo remains strong.

Remember the movie 300? The actors trained down at local Gym Jones to get ripped.

Famous Mixed Martial Art fighter Jeremy Horn set up shop here in SLC too.

I’ve moved to Salt Lake 4 years ago. First I didn’t like it here, I want to go somewhere else. But after a year we were ok, and we like it here a lot.

I live only hours from Salt Lake and still love visiting there, they no doubtedly have great skiing all winter long, and I mean LONG winters there. Park City is worth the trip just for the great shopping deals, me and the girls will head there for a weekend just to shop. I also love temple square it is beautiful, I hope you got to see it in the evening with all the Christmas lights up…. now that is a sight to see! I hope you’ve made it to more places in the Western US, there are so many beautiful sights here……..maybe next you should see the Grand Canyon that is worth the long trip!!!

I will visit Salt Lake City this year, so I am currently looking for every information I can get. I am especially looking forwards to visiting the national parks as I love being in nature (canoying). I have visited 16 national parks all over Europe, so now it’s time to explore North America, I guess.
I enjoyed the reading and just want to say thank you.

Best regards from Germany,
Simon

I’d love to visit salt lake city — it’s definitely one on my next to visit list. Reading your post made me feel that culture and atmosphere I wouldn’t have discovered from reading the usual travel book. Thanks.
