Utah’s One Thing: Charles Johnson, Utah’s Spirit Trail Guide

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 186 we were joined by Charles Johnson, the creator of Utah’s Spirit Trail guide. When we asked Charles what his one thing he would tell someone visiting Utah they must do before leaving, he totally plugged himself! Which, of course, we would suggest too! Pick up a guide and go to Utah’s local distilleries.

Utah’s One Thing: Folk Hogan

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?”

This one is a doozy! We had 5 of 6 band members of Folk Hogan join us for episode 169 to celebrate their new album release. This is what they told us you should do while visiting Utah!

Moses said it’s a tough question. He said there are so many wonderful things in the state. Salt Lake is a special town, and you should go to some of the great under ages locations. He mentioned Diabolical Records, The Beehive, The Underground… Moses said he is constantly impressed by the music that comes out of Salt Lake City. He specifically mentions, Baby Gurl. Moses threw in a vegan restaurant too, BoltCutter.

Canyon said, besides Folk Hogan, of course. Go to Goblin Valley, take mushrooms and break your leg. Canyon actually said if you have to come to Utah and do one thing, put a suit on and go to a rural city and go to church. You sit there for two hours and see what people in Utah grew up with. He doesn’t want you converted, just see what it is like. *also he said do this drunk* Also, Lagoon is fun he guesses…

Kameron said he had an easy answer! He visit Moab, Canyonlands, and all the other places… the places that make you feel like you are on a different planet, and that includes Arches. Or as Canyon said, do the Teddy Roosevelt. *aka visit the national parks*

Jared he likes to go to Subway. *joking… we joke* (Jared has since left the band) He did say try the beers cause Utah has some of the best craft beers.

Nick has given us his one thing before, but he said to try the Del Taco… wah wah… He did bring up some local places like Taco Time and some local taco trucks downtown Salt Lake City.

Curtis would give a counterpoint to Kameron and say the mountains… but he wasn’t here so…

Katrina Barker, the marketing and communications director for Planned Parenthood of Utah joined us for episode 158.

Katrina didn’t grow up around mountains and when she moved here she missed the trees back east, but now she can’t fathom not living in Utah. Katrina said Utah has quirks and some frustrating things, so if she could clean the air and kick out 70% of legislation… that would be perfect.

One of our favorite apps for hiking is Alltrails!
