Utah’s One Thing: Joanne Williams Co-Founder Talisman Brewing Co.

Standard

At the end of every New Utah interview we like to ask our guests, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

Joining us on Skype for episode 99,  Joanne Williams of Talisman Brewing Co. told us that the one thing you must do when visiting Utah is to head to Ogden and try some Talisman beer  at their brewery! We definitely agree with that, as most of their offerings are ONLY at their brewery!

Joanne said it really depends on what part of the state you are visiting. She said that they had a goal for 52 hikes in 52 weeks! This is definitely possible. She said to visit Kanaraville Falls and then visit Cecret Lake, it shows you two sides of Utah!

Utah’s One Thing: Pilot Barry Hancock

Standard

At the end of every New Utah interview we like to ask our guests, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

Flight academy owner and aerobatic WWII warbird plane pilot, Barry Hancock, joined us for episode 98. Of course Barry said the one thing that you should do in Utah is head to his hangar in Heber and go to on war bird flight up in Heber with the Utah War Bird Adventures! He says the Wasatch front is incredible from the air! (Jessica fully agrees with this!)

Barry was full of all kinds of new and great suggestions! He said the state is so diverse and wonderful it’s hard to pick just one. He said the parks in the southern end of the state are unbelievable. Locally he said hit up the Timpanogos cave and the ice castles in Midway if you’re in town in the winter and it’s cold enough and to ride the Heber Creeper train.

Utah’s One Thing: Utah Liquor Lawyer Tanner Strickland Lenart

Standard

At the end of every New Utah interview we like to ask our guests, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

Utah Liquor Lawyer, Tanner Strickland Lenart, joined us for episode 96! What would someone who knows the Utah restaurant and bar scene suggest for someone visiting Utah who only needed one thing to do? Well, Tanner said that the one thing someone visiting Utah should do before leaving is to get up into the mountains regardless of the season! You heard that folks head to the hills! Tanner said to make sure to experience side trails when you go hiking. We found a great resource for Utah trails on alltrails.com They offer a map that zooms in and out on hikes around the state. This map also gives the difficulty level of the hike, searchable options by city, printable maps, etc. Once you are on these trails then find your side trails! *but be respectful of the nature you’re walking through and be prepared*
