Temple Square & Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah

I begin my downtown Salt Lake City walk after parking at 4th South & Main. It’s a beautiful sunny January day!

Lindsey Gardens Park

This park has the steepest hills in town for Sledding and Snow Tubing, not to mention a good view of the city, but its south-facing slopes can melt away quickly if the sun follows a snowstorm.
