Walking the streets of Salt Lake City, you glimpse the historical to the modern. From the Utah State Capitol and the Cathedral of to City Creek and the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art; the offerings of our capital are vast and outstanding. Individuals come all over the world to see the majestic city in the Mountain West. However, due to the city’s numerous places to explore, it is hard for many tourists and even locals to see all Salt Lake City has to offer. This is why I am working with my groups to develop a “Pioneer Trail” that will connect historical sites, monuments, parks, food and entertainment venues, museums, and much more.
The inspiration behind this is from the Freedom Trail in Boston, Massachusetts. When you visit Boston, it’s hard to not take notice of the vibrant history that surrounds you. One of the ways to see the historical sites is to follow the Freedom Trail. This trail transports you past historical sites, museums, monuments, and more. It is a highlight of any visit to New England and is an example of how to show off a magnificent city. With this example, I feel Salt Lake deserves and needs a trail like this.
Salt Lake’s “Pioneer Trail” will be for the tourist, the local, families, and school groups. It will allow individuals to experience our famed city in an efficient and unique way. Not only will it connect the historical sites, but it will highlight many commercial venues. This will connect the city in a way that will heighten the appeal of visiting Utah’s grand capital city.
As Salt Lake continues to welcomes the world to Utah, we must be ever diligent in preserving the greatest of this city. I know this “Pioneer Trail” will only add to the legacy of Salt Lake and will encourage many to visit for years to come.
