what is the one thing to do in utah before leaving

Utah’s One Thing: Steve Jerman, Utah Cheese Awards founder

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 149 we sat down with Utah Cheese Awards and Salt Lake Cheese Festival founder, Steve Jerman. We asked him what he would have someone visiting Utah should do and he told us that they should head to Gilgal Sculptural Gardens! We’ve only had two other guests that have mentioned this hidden gem in Salt Lake City. He said it is so cool! Steve thinks all great artists like to see the weird and pristine, and that it is quite a production to build brick pants!

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?”

Denver Brady, who is directing sales, at Salt Flat Brewing also joined us for episode 141! Denver told us when we asked what the one thing someone visiting Utah would be, “Utah is vast. There are 1000 things in my mind.” She said that she lived by the Appalachian mountains and commented that “those are hills.” Denver thinks the Rocky Mountain range is unlike anything else. We would like to add, there are plenty opportunities to enjoy our mountain ranges from hiking, camping, biking, fishing, etc. Utah.com and Alltrails.com have some great resources for Utah’s mountains.

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?”

Russ Adams, founder of Ogden Uncon and special FX artist, joined us for episode 131. Russ told us that the one thing that someone should do when visiting Utah is …. well he said even living here there is still so much for him to personally do and that includes the mysterious underground Ogden Tunnels under Ogden’s 25th Street!
