Great, higher-end Mexican restaurant. Doesn't take reservations so call early to get your name on a list or go there for lunch. Well worth it, though.

Fantastic place to take the family. Summertime it's perfect for paddleboarding, hiking, mountain-biking, off-roading, and camping. Wintertime there's a great sled hill, snow-shoeing, and ice-fishing.

Alta requires parking reservations on the weekends and holidays during ski season now. It's a pain in the butt, however, still totally worth it to spend the day on my favorite place on earth. Summertime it has some of the best hiking around.
