If you use Strava, check out the heat map from SLC to see where the riding is good. Emigration canyon used to be good, but I haven't trained there in over a decade so can't be trusted to give any specific advice.

As a follow up to the last poster, I tried cycling Emigration Canyon last year and wasn't comfortable with the traffic. Sorry I can't be any more help than that as I'm not a local :/

...but, if you want to swim, the Steiner Aquatic Center is hard to beat: long course pool with a view of the Wasatch Mountains =)

Thanks. I am just new to strava. I will check that out

antelope island is 20 minutes from slc and it is a gem! emigration and big mountain are awesome we ride them all the time... hundreds of other bikes every saturday morning. p.m. me and ill give you my number and tell you more.

Have dinner at the Red Iguana. You are welcome.

Eat at Log Haven.

Thanks Tibbsy. Those are important local tips too!!!

Thanks Jimatbeyond. Making a list. Nice to have "been there" experienced suggestions

Love that place!

Any of the canyons if you want to climb. Emigration is the easiest and shortest of the major canyons. If you want to avoid traffic, look at City Creek as it is closed to cars, but the speed limit is 15 and they enforce it on occasion. Big Cottonwood is my favorite with 3500'+ of climbing over 16 miles I think it is pretty easy comparative and beautiful! LCC is the hardest. For a rolling ride check out mountain view corridor or Wasatch boulevard. You'll get a bit of vert on Wasatch, but it is a beautiful ride and you'll go by most of the major canyons. Also check out Millcreek canyon!

Breakfast check out Roots Café. Best spot I have found.

If you have other questions or want more info, let me know! Enjoy your stay

I like the Copper Onion.

I went up for the Tour of Utah Ultimate Challenge last year (which kicked my ass, way harder than ironman. well that and allergies I only figured out after the fact). Here's the rides we did while up there. I highly recommend the last one, it was awesome.

Unrelated to cycling, go to the Sunnydale Farmers Market. There is a farmers market downtown (and you could hit both), but Sunnyvale is run by refugee farmers.
