Utah’s One Thing To Do

Utah’s One Thing: Megan Kennedy, Author/Educator

Standard

Since we started our show in 2016, we have been asking our guests at the end of every New Utah interview, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

Before she moved out of Utah, we had a chance to sit down with author/photographer/religious educator, Megan Kennedy, for episode 151. Megan told us that the one thing someone should do while visiting Utah is to make it to the mountains. Megan said it’s the hills, the clean air… that our forests are so unique!

Utah’s One Thing: Enrique Limon, Former City Weekly Editor

Standard

Since we started our show in 2016, we have been asking our guests at the end of every New Utah interview, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

It took some time, but we were so excited to be joined for episode 150 by the (now former) editor of City Weekly, Enrique Limon. Enrique told us that the one thing you should do when visiting Utah is to allow yourself to be taken by the city. He said there is so much to do; nightlife, art spaces, pop up’s. Enrique said that one thing he remembers before he took the job at City Weekly, he was in town for a conference and he remembered waiting for the Trax and looking at the skyline and the mountains and thinking, I am a Utahn. He thought to himself, “something cool is happening here. Utah is on the brink of something,” and he just wanted to come back. Be like Enrique and go with the flow!!

Enrique also said, “don’t take what you think about the state as gospel.”

Utah’s One Thing: Dave Cawley, Cold Podcast Host

Standard

Since we started our show in 2016, we have been asking our guests at the end of every New Utah interview, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

We had the honor of sitting down for episode 147 with local podcaster and investigative journalist, Dave Cawley, of The Cold Podcast. We asked Dave what his one thing, he would tell someone visiting Utah, they had to do before leaving would be. Dave told us it was complicated to tell us the why, but he told us he loves Utah’s back country. Dave also told us he hates talking about it because he hate’s what people do it and he wants to keep it sacred. So he stopped talking about his favorite places. We respect that.

Dave did tell us that the one thing someone should do when visiting Utah would be to drive to Torrey, Utah. He said go down Highway 12 to Hole in the Rock Road to Kodachrome in Bryce Canyon and over to Zion. Utah.com always has great information about locations like Kodachrome!

Utah’s One Thing: Sim Gill, SLC DA Part 2

Standard

Since we started our show in 2016, we have been asking our guests at the end of every New Utah interview, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

Episode 146 was our second sit down with Salt Lake District Attorney, Sim Gill. Previously he told us in episode 126 that his one thing someone should do while visiting Utah was, visit Utah’s beautiful mountain trails. Sim wanted to see if he said the same thing, and sure enough his heart is in the mountains. Sim said he always goes back to his mountains. Always back to hiking and the natural resources that Utah has. Sim says, “the world comes to Utah to look at our mountains and to ski our mountains, and the natural resources that we have.” He is amazed that Utahn’s don’t take advantage as much as we should. He said we live in a bowl with bad air quality and to be able to walk into the mountains and free your mind, you see that people are just so happy when you’re on a trail. Oh, and Sim said go look at SLC architecture and go float in the Great Salt Lake!

Sim’s sidekick Ben said to go eat curry at Katmandu on Highland Drive and also go to the Salt Flats.

Chris told us the one thing that he would tell someone visiting Utah the must do before leaving is to visit Millcreek Canyon. He said spring and summer it is just an awesome place to go make a fire and have s’mores. *don’t forget to follow seasonal fire restrictions*

Standard

Since we started our show in 2016, we have been asking our guests at the end of every New Utah interview, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

Denver Brady, who is directing sales, at Salt Flat Brewing also joined us for episode 141! Denver told us when we asked what the one thing someone visiting Utah would be, “Utah is vast. There are 1000 things in my mind.” She said that she lived by the Appalachian mountains and commented that “those are hills.” Denver thinks the Rocky Mountain range is unlike anything else. We would like to add, there are plenty opportunities to enjoy our mountain ranges from hiking, camping, biking, fishing, etc. Utah.com and Alltrails.com have some great resources for Utah’s mountains.
