About Utah is Awesome

I'll never forget that summer I moved to Salt Lake City as a complete newcomer, nervous and totally out of my comfort zone. Sure, I'd visited before, but living here was different—I was clueless about the essentials like where to buy groceries, the best dining spots, hiking trails, and all those little things that transform a new place into home. One beautiful afternoon, cruising down Van Winkle in Murray with new friends in a doorless Jeep, grabbing dinner on a local patio, I realized how grateful I was for my personal tour guides showing me around town. Now people constantly ask me for Utah recommendations, and I love sharing this incredible state through social media and real conversations about what makes Utah special.
