In Salt Lake City, the housing decides the visit: brick bungalows and basements in the older neighborhoods, and a valley of newer suburban tracts with HOAs. The weather on the truck is dry heat in summer, a real snow season, strong sun, freeze-thaw, and inversion weeks that keep people inside. Sugar House, The Avenues, and Murray are worth naming only when they are real stops. Sandy and West Jordan are a different drive until you can reach them the same day.
