You won't have to fight for parking space. As far as Costco goes, it's in walking distance, but because you usually buy in large quantities your probably won't want to ride the trax. This is the location where you would catch the front runner going either North or South. Area was clean, and wait time was less than 10 minutes. Not knowing the time schedule we didn't have to wait long because on weekends the trax only runs every half hour. This is conference weekend, and hardly anyone was on the train, which made for a nice comfortable ride into town.

I road several times from the airport and around the city. I was on during the day and late at night and it felt safe and pretty underpopulated. Some of the lines do feel a little slow since they have to fight street traffic and don't have an L or underground route, but they are doing their best with an only of an existing city. One really cool thing is within SLC there is a "no fare" zone - so getting around is free. University students also ride free with ID.

TRAX is Salt Lake cities light rail system, offering I convenient connections to community…read moredestinations, shopping centers, schools and universities. TRAX runs seven days per week, and every 15-minute during peak times. It's electrically powered via a pantograph that connects the train to overhead catenary wires. Trains can range in length from one to four cars depending on time, day & projected ridership. We purchased our fares before boarding at an on-platform ticket vending machine. We tap our ticket on the card reader before boarding & after exiting the train. In 1999, the 1st segment of TRAX opened on Dec. 4, 1999, and connected riders from Salt Lake City to Sandy. Today, TRAX has 3 lines: the Blue Line from Draper to Salt Lake City, the Red Line from South Jordan to the University of Utah and the Green Line from West Valley to the Salt Lake International Airport, for a total 42.5 miles of line and 50 stations. The City Creek Center Station is near our Marriott and in front of the city Creek shopping center. The blue or green line will take us two stops to courthouse where we can walk to the library and Washington Square, Park.

WHAT If the name didn't give it away, I guess I should say up front that these are the bicycle taxis--bicycles with little carts attached to the back. You can fit three people on them, though usually I see folks going by the twos. I guess they offer tours of the city during the day, but I've never done one and I have no idea what that entails. So, you're on your own as the tour goes. But as far as hailing one like a cab, that's what they do at night, and that's how I've used them. WHO Each driver (pedaler, really) is independently contracted. That means your experience can be vastly different, and your pricing may be a bit variable as well (more on that below). I've noticed that the drivers tend to be younger dudes (though not exclusively), usually with a good attitude, pretty laid back, and they like to interact. Not saying that they are all like that, or that they have to be like that, but that's what I've seen in my experience. HAILING Just holler as they bike by. If they're empty, they're listening for you. You can also call, or contact ahead of time online at their website. PRICE Here's where it gets dicey. As many others have noted, pricing varies. You can probably figure around $3 per block, but that's pretty flexible. What you should do is this: as you hail the driver, ask them ahead of time how much they're going to charge by telling them the address of where you want to go. Then there's no surprise or no obligation. This part of it does actually drive me a little crazy--some folks just like the comfort of fixed pricing. But absent that or any real taxi-like meter, it's really just between you and the driver. Think of it as seeing somebody you don't know driving down the street, getting them to come over to you, and asking how much they would charge to take you somewhere. Switch out the car for a bike-and-cart, and that's the exact concept. They're not the cheapest mode of transportation around town. They're great for taking folks from the hotel to the restaurant, or from bar to bar. SLC blocks are big, and grabbing a sub-$10 ride to avoid a few blocks can help your night go smoothly. But if it's going to be a long ride, it's definitely much cheaper to grab a regular cab, Uber, etc. THE RIDE There ain't no seat belt (wait, is there?) and it's probably not for the faint of heart. It's not particularly fast, or really dangerous, but you're out there in the elements, in the open air, and your looking up at your driver pump his legs. Overall, it's not uncomfortable. But it ain't no backseat of a Towncar. All things said, these guys and gals are a great addition to the downtown scene. Know before you go, and you'll have a nice ride.

I needed a quick cab ride from one meeting to another during Outdoor Retailer. The bar manager told…read moreme it would be much quicker to get a bike taxi, so I went with it. I'm a fool to have done it. The driver showed up quick, for a brief and terrifying ride that broke every traffic law in the city. It was about 5 (SLC, so long) blocks. At the end, I was told it would be "well, most people give me between 10 and 15 bucks", whatever that means. He asked me if I was traveling on business and I said yes I was, and that I'm a freelance writer paying my own expenses. I gave him a $20 and meekly asked for some change. I got $5 back, and he had the audacity to give me a card and said to call again if I needed a ride. He also stopped about a block short of the destination, casually waving me in the general direction of the place I was going. Yet another reason I hope the OR show moves away from SLC. We leave something like 15M in the local economy and you still have to scam people for a 5 minute, 5 block ride? Seriously? I feel like a complete rube, scammed by the bar manager and scammed by the driver. I should have opted to be late to the next meeting.

Brighton's so deep in the mountains, it was getting even more snow than Alta or Snowbird late season. Nonetheless, most of the skiable area was closed from late April on, and they had some really sticky slush near the bottom. I went here on the week of April 20th (the stoner holiday) not thinking anything of it, and have never seen such a high concentration of intoxicated, degenerate, drug-obsessed college kids and degenerate behavior. These kids were consuming alcohol on the runs, making fun of, laughing at and humiliating beginners, and couldn't stop chairlift blabbing about jumping people, buying alcohol underaged, and "whippets" or however you spell it, their apparent drug of choice. Having an Ikon Pass and going to Alta that same week, I wanted to find the explanatory factor for the extreme disparity in guests between here and Alta that particular week. I looked online and saw Brighton was selling day passes for only $49, and marketing their late season as an event, "The Meltdown", geared toward younger people looking to party. Most of the staff here were nice and professional, with one exception. This attractive blonde girl working here was rude and standoffish when I asked what time they close, as they kept changing the closing time, seemingly on a daily basis, and nobody seemed to know. Different websites said different times and their closing time varies by day of the week, time of the season, weather, even by lift or section of the mountain, so it was like a Scooby-Doo mystery trying to figure it out. Then to get an attitude like "What... what time do we close?! You're hitting on me?!! You can't think of a better pickup line than that?! You know how many pickup lines I hear a day??" Probably not the right person to be working in hospitality. On the upside, the night skiing and tree skiing were exceptional here when I went earlier in the season, and the girl I took said this was her favorite resort. When I tried taking her to Snowbird she had a panic attack, saying it was too steep, and had to have ski patrol take her down in the basket, so Brighton's probably more beginner friendly.

I was impressed that on the way to the airport they announced that the free portion was over. What that told me was that you can travel locally at no cost. How good is that for keeping cars off the road? Certainly helps when you have the beautiful mountains surrounding you. The trip to the airport was less than 30 minutes and cost $!.25. How good is that? The cars are clean, the ride is smooth and the view out the window was fantastic, especially for a person from Long Island. We were in Salt Lake City for five days and I am glad that I did not have to rent a car. I suggest that if you're coming to visit you make your plans in advance and you will only need major transportation to sight-see out of the city. SLC has so much to offer and this rail system is just one more feather in their cap.
