Discover downtown Salt Lake City!
Walk through a few centuries of Salt Lake City's story in a single morning or afternoon
Utah Calling's walking tours weave together the lives of indigenous peoples, Mormon pioneers who settled here in 1847, and the waves of immigrants who came to work the railroads and silver mines, each transforming the city in their own way. You'll see how the 2002 Winter Olympics reshaped the city's infrastructure and ambition, leaving a legacy that still pulses through Salt Lake City today. You'll stand in the places where history happened and understand why locals see Salt Lake City as anything but ordinary.
