I am in the early planning stage of a trip to Utah for my father and I in June for his 69th birthday and Father’s Day. We are flying into Salt Lake City on June 15th and flying from SLC back to KC on June 20th. So far the only thing officially planned is to be in Arches National Park on the 17th & 18th as I’ve already secured timed•entry passes.
I’ve looked at the threads already made in this section and have came up with a few ideas. Mainly just looking for things to do, places to go, and good places to eat. Once I get enough “stuff” to do I’ll come up with an actual travel plan. Ogden • Golden Spike National Historical Park • J M Browning Museum • Hill Aerospace Museum Salt Lake City • Big Cottonwood Canyon • Natural History Museum of Utah SLC is the only place I’ve spent anytime researching restaurants so far — places I’ve seen routinely recommended are Red Iguana, Moochies, Crown Burgers, and Pretty Bird. Aside from the two days at Arches we are also looking to spend some time in Moab, Canyonlands, Dead Horse Point State Park, and Capitol Reef. We have already been to Zion and Bryce Canyon a few years ago when we were in St George for an AK competition when it was still hosted by SUPS. Any insight to making this a memorable and fun trip is greatly appreciated! |

Sounds like you'll be in Moab, which has a lot of excellent eateries. Between Arches, and the other NP, and state parks you'll probably fill you're entire trip. The drive from Moab-SLC is decent too, if you appreciate desert landscapes

Arches and Canyonlands are worth the trip alone. I really like Monument Valley. It's probably another 3 hours or so south of Moab. Plenty of places to eat in Moab.
If you do go to Monument Valley, there's a place in Mexican Hat that makes great steaks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK2gV9I205A I'd put the stuff in southern Utah above the items you listed around SLC/Ogden. Arches really can be done in a day, same as Canyonlands. |

Even for non LDS, Temple Square is worth seeing, I think. A lot of $ went into creating that.

I think there's a Toyota Land Cruiser museum up north?
