Salt Lake City Named As A Great Travel Spot In 2025

Traveling is on pretty much everyone’s bucket list but the crowds can be a bummer which is why this city in Utah is perfect for avoiding them. 

Utah’s National Parks are always a draw and even some state parks bring people in, but the crowds get very intense during certain times of the year. For those looking for a less nature getaway and more of a new experience, Salt Lake City is the place.  

By The Way gave 12 destinations for people to travel in 2025 without the crowds.  

Salt Lake City, Utah made number three on the list.  

Utah has gained attraction in recent years from shows like “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” and more recently for the Netflix show “American Primeval” but these shows don’t show Utah as a whole.  

BTW said that Salt Lake City has a lot to offer tourists in the way of arts, dining, and music which isn’t really seen on any of the shows.  

The culture is different, but Salt Lake City has a more diverse and open populations even with the headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints being there. Plus, Temple Square is a beautiful sight (it’s under renovation right now). 

However, if religion isn’t your cup of tea Salt Lake City has a spectacular nightlife you won’t find in the rest of the state.  

There are several places in Salt Lake City that are LGBTQ+ friendly and there are also bars and coffee shops galore.  

Really, there is something for everyone and you can skip the crowds and enjoy your time.
