Utah’s One Thing: Danny B Stewart, Storyteller

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?”

For episode 123 we had storyteller, Danny B Stewart, join us! When we asked Danny what the one thing he would tell someone visiting Utah that they needed to do before leaving, he said “let me pray about it…” Danny’s answer was to visit Gilgal Garden! Gilgal Garden is a quiet, hidden sculptural garden located in the middle of downtown Salt Lake City. Containing 12 original sculptures and over 70 stones engraved with scriptures, poems, and literary texts. It is definitely an artistic sight to behold!

During episode 109 Shawn, the founder of Green Urban Lunch Box, told us that the one thing that someone visiting Utah had to do before leaving was to take a drive up the canyon to be in the wilderness. Shawn said it’s also good to be in the city and do cool city things.

Fortunately Utah has plenty of canyons to visit and plenty of city to find cool in *which we have written tons about here on our website*! We love Utah.com’s guide for Scenic Drives & Byways.  This map is just a smidgen of the Wasatch Front canyons!
