Road Trips from Salt Lake City

SLC is a scenic city that serves as a central hub in an incredibly diverse geographic area filled with mountains, deserts, other-wordly salt flats, and green pine forests. The distances are greater, but the sense of adventure if off the charts. Just make sure you fill up on gas when you can.

Yellowstone National Park

4 hour, 30 minute drive from Salt Lake City

Despite its signature sulfuric stink, this geothermal wonder is one of America’s most famous and most visited national parks. Brilliant geysers and cerulean mineral hot springs are just some of the hundreds of natural features that make Yellowstone a must-see in every American’s lifetime. Heads up–Yellowstone is about a 4.5-hour drive from SLC, so make sure your car is up for the mileage. The pilgrimage is well-worth it to be among one of the most unique and beautiful places on the planet.
