Fun Vacation Ideas in Salt Lake City, Utah - Aimless Travels - World Travel Tips and Guide

Salt Lake City, Utah may just be the perfect destination for you, that you may have never thought about. Back during August of 2014, David and a few of his friends decided to take a road trip across the country after they graduated college. We had just met a couple months before he left for his trip. We talked throughout the month he was away, and he threw out the idea that my friend (who was dating his friend that was also on that same trip) and I should fly out to Utah to meet up with them. My friend met her boyfriend at the same time we met. Wakeboarding Utah was a beautiful state, especially during the summer. If you’ve never tried wakeboarding or wake surfing before, I highly suggest it! Quick Note: The guys we went with had brought their own wakeboards, so my friend and I were able to ride those.

During the summer of 2017, we did some research to look into areas that allowed backpacking. Tom Jones Shelter area: Both offered different hikes. Bald Rocks Shelter area: The trip we took in November was a much longer hike than either of us had anticipated. If you’re planning on going in the fall, especially late fall, plan for cold weather! #1: Water #7: Paper towels. Aimless Travels - World Travel Tips and Guide -
