Salt Lake City West Side Walking Tour

This side of downtown is often overlooked, yet it formed a vital part in the growth of the city, the state, and the Western US in general. Let's step back in time to explore the West side of Salt Lake City, the area dominated by 2 historic train stations in what used to be the city’s warehouse district. The magnificently restored Union Pacific Station is one of the first stops on this tour. You’ll walk in the footsteps of so many travelers who came through this historic building after the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad just North of Salt Lake City. As we make our way through the Gateway Mall and Pioneer Park, there's also some interesting street art before looping back to Main Street. No visit to downtown Salt Lake City is complete without a stop at Temple Square. As we leave Main Street behind us, we’ll see historic buildings such as the Beehive and Lion House, and of course, the Salt Lake Temple. Time permitting, we may attend the daily organ recital at the Tabernacle on Temple Square.
