Ogden or Salt Lake City
We're flying out of Salt Lake City after spending time in Montana & Yellowstone late August. We currently have reservations in Salt Lake City near the airport, but noticed we'll be driving through Ogden, which has a nice looking historic area. Wondered if it would be a better place to spend the night. We will have time the next day to check out Temple Square in Salt Lake City. Thanks.

We live in Ogden, and I would definitely say to stay in Park City! Right in the mountains with wonderful restaurants. If you are not LDS, Temple Square is not much to see. Park City has galleries, hiking, biking, wonderful shopping, and great food! If you decide Park City, you can email me for some restaurant suggestions if you like, as we go to Park City and Salt Lake City on a regular basis to dine. Have Fun!

I've seen Park City recommended a lot on this forum, and will check into it. I was under the impression that it was mostly a skiing/hiking/sports, etc. town. My parents would probably enjoy the historic main street. We'd be up for lunch suggestions, but dinner will be at the airport . Thanks again or the help.

Hi again B,
I live in Park City and love it! Most everyone enjoys the town because there is so much to do and see.
Non-sports: visit Utah Olympic Park where the bob sled, ski jumping and luge and skeleton were held. You can even ride the bob sled track in a summer wheeled sled. ($$) You can also watch the athletes train and take a very interesting tour of the facilities and the ski museum. Everyone I send there really likes it.
There are many fabulous galleries, boutiques, gourmet restaurants with outdoor dining. Great for lunches.
Also a small museum on Main Street and lots of restored historic homes on Park Avenue.
In Heber Valley, about 20 minutes from Park City, there is an air museum and an antique steam engine railroad.
Have fun!

A good lunch in Park City is Baja Cantina for mexican, or if you want a burger, Burgies is good. Alot of the good restaurants in PC are only open for dinner.
Also for Salt Lake, there is a wonderful mexican restaurant, the Rio Grande, that is quite close to the airport and would definitely be my choice over the airport anyday.
