one thing to do in utah while visiting

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.
