Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.

Sports Salt Lake

The Gooseberry Epic is Southern Utah’s ultimate endurance race—part test of grit, part slickrock playground, and all unforgettable. Kicking off at the legendary Gooseberry Mesa Trailhead, the course links Gooseberry’s iconic rock features with the flow of Wire Mesa, delivering a nonstop mix of ledgy climbs, rim-side exposure, and undulating slickrock. With Zion National Park on the horizon and red cliffs stretching in every direction, this race offers some of the most jaw-dropping views in the Intermountain Cup Series. But make no mistake—this course demands sharp bike handling and serious endurance. Every mile pushes your skills and stamina to the limit. Spots are limited and this race will sell out. Whether you’re chasing the podium or determined to conquer the mesa, the Gooseberry Epic promises a challenge worthy of its name.
