Parley's Historic Nature Park is an easy, family-friendly walk that is started as an off-leash dog park, but is also a beautiful walk with or without canine friends.

Unlike other dog parks that are often small fields or open areas fenced off and dedicated to letting dogs run around, Parley's Historic Nature Park (also referred to as Tanner Dog Park) is an 87-acre park that is also a wildlife refuge area containing numerous historic sites and plaques. It has multiple trails, and it joins with Parley's Trail for a much longer walking or hiking experience. It follows Parley's Creek and is full of trees and brush, and has beautiful views of the nearby mountains and the bottom of Parley's Canyon.

**Local's recommendation:** This is a popular area any time of year-bring your dog if you can, but if you can't or don't own a dog, you will meet many friendly pups on this walk.

The Christmas Box International works to prevent child abuse and defend children through a culture of universal diversity, inclusion, and love. We partner with local, national, and international groups to improve the quality of life for children, teens, and young adults who are victims of abuse, neglect, trafficking, or are facing homelessness. In 1996, founder and New York Times best-selling author Richard Paul Evans created a safe place for Utah’s children — a Christmas Box House — naming the charity after his first novel, The Christmas Box. What began as a single refuge has grown into a statewide network of emergency shelters, resource rooms, and youth programs dedicated to restoring hope and dignity. Today, The Christmas Box International serves 14,000 children and young adults every year. From offering immediate shelter and comfort to children escaping abuse, to providing essentials through our Resource Rooms, to empowering teens transitioning out of foster care, our work ensures that every young person we serve feels seen, valued, and loved. Through programs like Project Elf, we make the holidays brighter for children who might otherwise go without. Each gift and warm item serves as a reminder that their community believes in them and that they are not forgotten. Our mission continues because of generous community members, businesses, and foundations who share our belief that every child deserves a childhood. Together, we’re defending children 365 days a year — and changing the story for generations to come.

[Second Summit Cider](https://secondsummitcider.com/) is a women-owned, family and friends run business.  
The two owners, Vicki and Julie, met 40 years ago at Utah State University, married Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity brothers and found a way to stay in touch through the years while raising their families in different states and countries. Both maintain a passion for community, outdoor activity and interacting with friends and family. With their children grown, they started dreaming about a place where an active community could thrive. Second Summit Hard Cider Co is that dream!

Dented Brick® Distillery produces a full line of award-winning spirits, including vodka, gin, rum, whiskey, and authentic tequila. With a commitment to excellence in production, Dented Brick® has established itself as a trusted brand synonymous with value and craftsmanship. We take pride in our commitment to excellence, fueled by the remarkable ingredient that sets us apart: Dented Brick® proprietary artesian well water. Water is the key to producing exceptional, hand-crafted spirits, and ours flows clean and pure from the snowmelt of the Rocky Mountains. Chemical and bacteria-free, this water forms the perfect foundation for our spirits. When I began the search for the ideal land to build our distillery, I remembered one crucial piece of advice from an old moonshiner I had met during my travels and studies in Kentucky: “It starts with the water!”

A large pond in the western part of the park offers a lovely view for a walk, but that's not all the park has to offer. There are also seven pavilions for group gatherings; soccer and baseball fields; a large, cement basketball court donated by the Utah Jazz; two playgrounds; a small amphitheater; seven volleyball courts, and a sleigh-riding hill.

In the winter, the hill provides a great place to ride sleds or tubes. Just dress warm, bring your own tube, and ride away!

Some say that traditional neighborhood values, a sense of community, and customer services as a lost art are gone forever. We embrace these traditions and want them back. Welcome to Level Crossing Brewing Company, a crossroads where people can meet to share their stories and enjoy a laugh. There’s a seat open just for you.

At Level Crossing Brewing Company, our terroir, or defining characteristics, encapsulate the overall essence of passion and camaraderie. The red feather in our logo is a long-standing family tradition of always leaving an empty place setting for “Red Feather” at the dinner table. This is to celebrate the tradition of hospitality and inclusion. The empty seat is left open just in case a weary traveler, family member, or friend knocks on the door, so there would be a place for them to join.

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.
