Welcome to the valley of the annointed!! Are you looking for touristy kinds of things or places to eat or what? Are you downtown?
If you want architecture and touristy kinds of stuff and you’re downtown, get on the light rail (TRAX) and head east. Go see the Salt Lake City library and further east is the Olympic torch at Rice Eccles Stadium. Temple Square is good for architecture, too. Ignore the missionaries. There’s a fine arts museum at the University of Utah. TRAX runs right by it.
If you like outdoors stuff, you’re going to need a car. There are a lot of hiking trails in the canyons.
I ran up city creek canyon (?) for quite a ways. It’s good to see that caffeine and alcohol are available, but I’m a long way from being a big drinker. My hotel has NO b.o.m. in the nightstand (good), and I ran past temple square on theway to the canyon... It’s a very darth-vader looking building... Anyway... Still two more days to go.
