  1. A

    Tabernacle

    The egg-shaped 1867 Tabernacle is again the highlight after the completion of an extensive seismic retrofit and renovation in 2007. Some preservationists grumbled about the replacement of its pine pews, but a few rows of the originals were left in the back. To show off its fabled acoustics, pin drops are held every 15 minutes - the sound can be heard all the way in the back, more than 200ft away.

  2. Red Butte Gardens

    In the nearby Wasatch foothills, the lovely 150-acre Red Butte Gardens has trails, 25 acres of gardens and gorgeous valley views. In summer, during its popular outdoor concert series, check online to see who's playing - from Neko Case to Deathcab for Cutie.

  4. Antelope Island State Park

    The pretty, 15-mile-long Antelope Island State Park, 40 miles northwest of SLC, has nice hiking and the best beaches for lake swimming (though they're occasionally stinky).
