City advice
Getting around
Lyft, Uber, or Trax
We are about a 15 min walk to a Trax train station that will take you right to the heart of downtown. The routes can be found on UTA.com. For a more direct trip, Lyft or Uber are excellent choices as well.
What to pack
Utah weather likes to change randomly
Depending on the season, bringing a jacket, rain coat or umbrella is always a good idea. Our winters are pretty cold, so a warm, puffy coat is recommended.
