Salt Lake City has become a magnet for nature and outdoor enthusiasts. An incredibly breathtaking natural experience, the area encourages visitors to stay in the city that has become known as "different by nature". A refreshing getaway in Utah may just be what your family needs to get back in touch with the environment and the majestic world around you. To make booking easier, select from the most affordable and accessible hotels Salt Lake offers.

Founded in 1847 by Brigham Young as a haven for the Mormon faith, the transcontinental railroad and an abrupt mining boom accelerated the economic growth of the Salt Lake area. The area quickly became known as the 'Crossroads of the West' when people flocked here before relocating to other parts of the western country. Since then, the area has developed a vibrant tourism industry based on the natural landscape, which includes a wide variety of outdoor recreation and world-famous skiing. No matter the season or weather, the beauty of nature can be enjoyed throughout the year.

Lace up those hiking boots and bring the camping gear because, with so many things to do, you wouldn't want to experience a trip to Salt Lake confined in your car. Visit the Great Salt Lake and spend the day hiking at one of the many national parks. Bring a bagged lunch for a picnic at one of the national monuments. With its central location, Salt Lake City is the perfect base camp to travel to the surrounding national parks and monuments. Some are located within a short distance from the area; others, like Yellowstone National Park, would take up an entire day's trip. If you're in the area, take the opportunity to see every national park you can.

For the wildlife lovers, do some bird watching at the Tracy Aviary. It's fun for the whole family and a great complement to Utah's Hogle Zoo or the Living Planet Aquarium. Each site houses hundreds of species, making them as much of an educational opportunity as an entertaining one. For a chance to see hundreds of flora species, tour the botanical Red Butte Garden, Utah's one and only arboretum. Other popular attractions that beckon nature lovers include the International Peace Gardens and the Gilgal Sculpture Garden.

For a trip back in time, take the family to "This is the Place Heritage Park". This attraction features staff dressed in authentic pioneer garb as they reenact the daily life of a bygone era. It's also a great place to do some shopping at the mercantile, view replica trains and take plenty of family photographs. Once you've experienced the quaint side of Utah's past life, sneak in some energetic fun at the Boondocks Fun Center. The Boondocks is Salt Lake's hotspot for bumper boats, go-karts, mini golf, laser tag, casual dining and much more.

The hotels Salt Lake features are also ideal for a couple's getaway. The Salt Lake City area has opportunities for downtown carriage rides, scenic drives and charming tours. Spend an evening at the casino before having dinner and cocktails, or stay in for the night and enjoy a romantic massage. Some of the accommodations include hotels Salt Lake is proud to offer that include in-suite spa services, on-site dining options and jacuzzi tubs. The airport is located a few miles from downtown, so some hotels provide airport shuttle services to and from their location.

To get the most bang for your buck, take advantage of the free attractions located throughout the Salt Lake City area. Some of the freebies include the International Peace Gardens, the Governor's Mansion, Olympic Cauldron Park, Liberty Park and the Salt Lake Masonic Temple.

Now that you are planning a trip to Utah, search for hotels Salt Lake features for the accommodation that will best fit your family's needs. Many hotels supply fitness rooms, indoor and outdoor pools, front desk services or concierge services and free Wi-Fi access. Read the general hotel description and note any amenities such as on-site restaurants, in-room breakfasts, disabled guest access and pet policies. Determining which sights you wish to see during your visit can help you select a hotel that is centrally located. Get reacquainted with nature and experience all the beauty and fun that Salt Lake City has to offer.
