The variety of recreation in Utah and in and around Salt Lake City is unmatched. From hiking to sail boarding in the summer, to skiing and snowmobiling in the winter, there's something to satisfy everyone.
Winter Sports: Skiing the steep and deep attracts national and international visitors from November through April to Utah's top-ranked resorts. Reader surveys conducted by national ski magazines consistently rank the state's ski areas among the best in the country.
Spectator Sports: Cheering on professional and amateur sports teams is easy when in Salt Lake City.
The Delta Center, which seats nearly 20,000 spectators, is home to the Utah Jazz, as well as the Utah Starzz (WNBA.) The center is also used for special events and concerts.
The Utah Grizzlies Hockey Club skates on the ice at the state-of-the-art E Center located in West Valley City. The Grizzlies are three-time winners of The Turner Cup.
Salt Lake Stingers baseball team (AAA Anaheim Angels), play at Franklin Covey Field. The 15,500-seat stadium is located just blocks from downtown Salt Lake City.
The Utah Blitzz is an outdoor minor league professional soccer team. The Utah Freezz is an indoor soccer team that plays at the E Center.
Recreational Sports: Utah offers an extensive menu of recreational opportunities to enjoy: stamina may be your only limitation! More than 630 species of animals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians make their homes in Utah's diverse habitat, so wildlife watching is a favorite for many.
Recreation is not limited to land. Utah ranks sixth in the nation in surface acres of boatable waters within its boundaries.
Inline Skating: The greater Salt Lake area offers miles of scenic trails for inline skaters, such as the Jordan River Trail. It's a great off-season sport for skiers as well.
