Extra day in Salt Lake City

We are taking the Southbound trip starting June 3, 2013 in Rapid City, and ending on June 12th in Salt Lake City. We are extending by 1 day, and are interested in renting a car and driving outside of Salt Lake City to the ski resorts. Any suggestions?

  • Hi Gerrys,
    My wife and I (Ken & Irene) are on your trip. This will be our 6th with Tauck but the first inside the U.S. We've been to SLC twice for meetings in the spring and the second time we rented a car and drove out to Park City which is worth a visit just for the historical significance. It was after the ski season but still very quaint and cool. We also went to the Olympic Park which you'll do on the tour. Unfortunately when we were there none of the cool activities (toboggan run, zip-line, etc) were open as they're only open in the summer season which starts June 1st. We're thinking of going out there, hopefully with the tour, but then leaving the group and doing some of these things and then rejoining. If the timing won't work we may just skip the tour and rent a car and go on our own. We plan to talk to the tour director.

    Actually, because of the above, we're taking extra days at the beginning and coming into Rapid City Saturday. Sunday/Monday we're renting a car and driving to Devil's Tower &/or the Mammoth dig or something else in the area.

    From the reviews this looks like a great trip and if you've never traveled with Tauck you're in for a wonderful experience.
    See you Monday at the welcome dinner,
    Ken
