Utah’s One Thing: Su, Ron, and Bernie, of Summum

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 184 we took a field trip to the Summum Pyramid in Salt Lake City and had a chat with Su, Bernie, and Ron. When we asked them what the one thing someone should do when visiting Utah is, Ron and Bernie both warmly said visit Summum! Su said that you should go hiking. We agree with both! Here’s a link to one of our favorite websites, Utah.com, for some hiking suggestions.

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?”

Katrina Barker, the marketing and communications director for Planned Parenthood of Utah joined us for episode 158. Katrina told us that the one thing someone should do when visiting Utah is to go into the mountains. Go on a hike. She is an avid hiker. 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!
