I have lived in Utah my whole life and have only been to the State Capitol on a field trip in elementary school. Having a friend in town this past weekend and I thought it would be cool to take an hour and go walk around the capitol and then up behind it to look out over the city.
This was a fun quick activity. We walked through the building and looked at some of the history behind the state as well as the simple and easy on the eyes lay out of the building.
We also walked around and admired the structure and beautiful flowers and trees surrounding the building. Standing on the steps of the Capitol you can look onto downtown Salt Lake City as well as a fabulous view of the Wasatch Mountain Range.
After walking around the grounds of the State Capitol we drove up to the top of the Avenues and took a small hike to overlook the city. For someone who had never been hiking before, my friend felt as though it was a struggle to get up the hill, but thought it was worth it once at the top. There was a light breeze, and a stunning view.
Although this only took about an hour and a half, we both thought it to be worth it. I was able to learn more about my own state, and history and my friend got to see Salt Lake from a different view.
