During your Salt Lake City vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Kennecott's Bingham Canyon Mine
The world's largest open-pit copper mine, at 2 1/2 miles wide and three-quarters of a mile deep, is quite a sight to see, and almost as fascinating are the huge -- and we do mean huge -- trucks that transport the ore. The visitor center, 2,000 feet above the floor of the open-pit mine, offers a spectacular view, and you might even see an explosion, as rock is blasted away to expose more copper ore. In addition to the observation area, the visitor center has interactive exhibits -- including 3-D microscopes for examining minerals -- and offers a 14-minute video presentation that relates the mine's history and geology and describes its operations. Proceeds from admission fees are donated to local charities. Allow about 1 hour.
Gardner Village
This quaint village is a cluster of restored historic homes and buildings surrounding Gardner Mill, a flour mill built by Scottish immigrant Archibald Gardner in 1877. Brass plaques tell the stories of each of the historic structures. The mill, which is on the National Historic Register, now houses a large store specializing in country furniture and gift items, as well as Archibald's Restaurant. Close to two dozen shops in the other historic buildings, connected by red brick paths, sell a wide range of items, including art, crafts, clothing, candy, quilts, dolls, and home furnishings. There's also a spa, a bakery, and a picturesque duck pond. Plan to spend at least an hour here.
Governor's Mansion
Silver magnate Thomas Kearns built this palatial home in 1898, sparing no expense to make it as lavish as possible. African and Italian marble and exotic woods from around the world were used extensively throughout. Kearns' widow deeded it to the state in 1937, and the 36-room mansion is now the governor's residence. It suffered a devastating fire just before Christmas 1993, but has been fully restored to its 1902 appearance (1902 was the year that Kearns and his family first moved in). The best time to see the mansion is in December, when it's elaborately decorated for Christmas. Allow about half an hour.
Saltair Bed & Breakfast
Established in 1980, the Saltair is one of the oldest continuously operating B&Bs in Utah, although the building itself is quite a bit older. Now listed on the National Historic Register, it was constructed in 1903 and housed Salt Lake City's Italian Consulate in the early part of the century. Named for a resort built on the Great Salt Lake in the late 1800s, this inn boasts an enormous collection of Saltair memorabilia, from humorous postcards to knickknacks of all kinds. Units vary in size and specifics, from standard rooms to suites to cottages to a fully equipped bungalow. The cottages and bungalow are especially good for those traveling with children. All units are comfortably furnished with an eclectic variety of antiques, and goose-down comforters grace each bed. Some bathrooms have showers only, others have shower/tub combos, and one has a whirlpool tub for two. Several units have fully equipped kitchens.
International Ute Hostel
Located in a safe residential neighborhood, this hostel offers bunk beds in three dorm rooms, plus two private rooms (each with one queen bed). It's just a short walk to the Traxx light-rail line, which provides easy access to downtown attractions. As you would expect, everyone shares bathrooms and showers. Facilities include a fully equipped kitchen with free beverages, and lounges with cable TV. Particularly popular with international students, the hostel is unusually clean and provides free linen, tea and coffee, and safe deposit boxes. Complimentary pick-up at the airport, train and bus depots, or information center is available, as is free off-street parking. Inexpensive bike, ski, skate, and golf rentals can be arranged. Smoking is not permitted.
Little America Hotel
Little America is among Salt Lake City's finest hotels, offering a wide variety of rooms, all individually decorated. Choices range from standard courtside units to extra-large deluxe tower suites in the 17-story high-rise. All are gracefully yet comfortably appointed in French provincial style, and come complete with 31-inch color TVs and pay-per-view movies. The locally popular coffee shop opens at 5am; there's also a steakhouse and lounge. The hotel offers valet parking, and has a second-floor sun deck with an indoor/outdoor pool plus a separate, beautifully landscaped outdoor pool. There are banquet and conference facilities here.
