3-Hour Salt Lake City Walking Tour through the West Side and Temple Square

• We will meet on the plaza in front of Abravanel Hall, home of the Utah Symphony.

• From Abravanel Hall, we will head west on South Temple Street toward the historic Union Pacific Station.
• Along the way, we will pass the Delta Center, home of the NBA's Utah Jazz and the NHL's Utah Hockey Team, as well as the Devereaux Mansion.

• From Historic Union Station, we will continue our walk along the Gateway Mall toward the historic Rio Grande Station.
• This area was once the old warehouse district and was redeveloped into an outdoor mall in 2000.
• Some of the remaining architecture is reminiscent of the heyday of the transcontinental railroad.

• The walking tour heads east along Pioneer Park toward Main Street.
• Some of the must-sees on this stretch of the tour are the Greek Orthodox cathedral, Squatters Brewery, and the historic Peery Hotel.

• As we head north on Main Street, the commercial heart of the city, we will swing by the Gallivan Center, which used to be part of Salt Lake City's red-light district in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
• Along the way, there is some Instagram-worthy street art and murals.

• From the Gallivan Center, we continue north toward Temple Square via City Creek Mall.

• No tour in downtown Salt Lake City would be complete without getting a glimpse of Temple Square.
• We will walk the perimeter of Temple Square.
• Notable stops include the Lion House, Beehive House, Eagle Gate Monument, Joseph Smith Memorial Building (formerly Hotel Utah), Assembly Hall, and the LDS Temple.
• Time permitting, we may attend the organ recital at the Tabernacle.

Please note that Temple Square is undergoing renovations, and unannounced detours may occur.

• From Temple Square, we will walk back to Abravanel Hall, where the tour began and where the walking tour ends.
