Minigolf gennem byen Salt Lake City: 18 huller, par 54

Salt Lake City ser organiseret ud fra luften. Denne runde med 18 huller spilles på byens gader ved hjælp af et kort. Hullerne er placeret ved lokale seværdigheder i byen, såsom Delta Center. Skip kender fortovene og genvejene i byen. Den samlede gåafstand fra start til slut er 6,1 mi.

Delta Center

Located in the heart of Salt Lake City, the Delta Center is an indoor venue that opened in 1991. It is the home of the Utah Jazz of the NBA and the Utah Mammoth of the NHL. Depending on the event, the seating capacity varies: it holds 18,186 for basketball and up to 16,020 for indoor football and ice hockey. If you are visiting for a concert, the capacity reaches 20,000. For those looking for a more exclusive experience, the arena features 56 luxury suites and 668 club seats. I've seen plenty of crowds gather here on game nights.

Family History Library

Located in downtown Salt Lake City, the FamilySearch Library is a genealogical research facility. You can access the library free of charge. It was formerly known as the Family History Library and is operated by FamilySearch, which is the genealogical arm of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I've seen plenty of folks wandering in here looking for their roots. It is a great spot to spend an afternoon if you have a curiosity about where you came from.

Lion House

The Lion House is a large residence located in Salt Lake City, Utah. Built in 1856, this house was constructed for Brigham Young. He was the second president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is a great spot to stop and look at the architecture while you are in the neighborhood. I usually see a few of my pigeon friends hanging around the eaves here, watching the crowds pass by on the street below.

Conference Center

You might expect another corporate venue, but this is actually the premier meeting hall for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Located in Salt Lake City, Utah, the Conference Center is an architectural structure designed by ZGF Architects LLP. It was completed in 2000 and features a staggering 21,000 seats to accommodate its attendees. While you are exploring the area, you can also find the Salt Lake Tabernacle, which was built in 1868. I find the scale of the seating here truly impressive.

White Memorial Chapel

Salvaged elements from the Salt Lake 18th Ward meetinghouse, which was constructed in the early 1880s, make up the build of the White Community Memorial Chapel. Located on Capitol Hill in Salt Lake City, this non-denominational meetinghouse was built from 1979 to 1980. The reconstruction was largely funded by the Mahonri Kenneth White and Ada Marie Sparks White Foundation. Following its completion, the meetinghouse was donated to the State of Utah. The State of Utah now administers the meetinghouse as part of the Utah State Capitol complex.

Church History Library

This isn't your typical neighborhood spot to borrow a novel. The Church History Library is a research center and archives building located in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. It is owned by the Church and houses materials chronicling the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Since it opened in 2009, it has provided a dedicated space for those looking to study these specific records. I've noticed the building has a very formal presence on the street, which fits the nature of the archives kept inside.

Utah and the Civil War Monument

Utah og Civil War-monumentet er et krigsmonument. Det er installeret uden for Utah State Capitol, hvor det forbliver et fokuspunkt for dem, der besøger regeringsområdet. Monumentet er beliggende i Salt Lake City, som er den største by i den amerikanske stat Utah. Besøgende i capitol-området kan finde denne installation placeret, så den kan ses af dem, der går rundt om bygningen, og markerer et specifikt mindepunkt i byens layout.

Utah State Capitol Building

You will likely notice the Neoclassical architecture style first as you approach the Utah State Capitol Building. Designed by architect Richard K.A. Kletting, this structure is the main building of the Utah State Capitol Complex. The complex is located on Capitol Hill, overlooking downtown Salt Lake City. Since its inception in 1912, it has functioned as the house of government for the state. It is also a National Register of Historic Places listed place. I find the view from the hill to be one of the best spots to get your bearings in the city.

City Creek Park

The city created City Creek Park to provide additional urban green space in the downtown area of Salt Lake City. Built in 1995, this public park offers a natural break from the surrounding streets and concrete. If you have time to wander further through the city, you can also visit its companion, the Brigham Young Historic Park. I always find it is a great spot to stretch your legs and clear your head between stops. It is one of those places where you can actually hear the wind in the leaves while you are right in the middle of the city.

Governor's Mansion

Look at the architecture of the Governor's Mansion before you take in the whole property. This historic house is the official residence of the governor of Utah and family. Located at 603 East South Temple Street in Salt Lake City, the site is a single-family detached home. It is also a National Register of Historic Places listed place. It is a lovely spot to admire from the sidewalk, and I have seen a few crumbs dropped near the gates that would make any bird envious. It is one of the more distinguished addresses you will encounter on this course.

Cathedral Church of Saint Mark

You can find the Cathedral Church of Saint Mark on 100 South in downtown Salt Lake City. This Anglican cathedral is a National Register of Historic Places listed place designed by architect Richard Upjohn. The structure is built in the Gothic Revival style and was constructed between 1870 and 1903. Its inception was in 1871, and it serves as the cathedral church of the Episcopal Diocese of Utah. The site provides a distinct architectural presence within the city center for all who visit the area.

Eccles Theater

George S. og Dolores Doré Eccles Theater åbnede i 2016 i Salt Lake City, Utah. Siden da er denne teaterbygning blevet et knudepunkt for forskellige underholdningsarrangementer, herunder koncerter og turnéende Broadway-shows. Du kan finde to forskellige rum her til forskellige typer forestillinger. Delta Performance Hall tilbyder et stort sted med 2.468 siddepladser, mens et mindre sort teater har plads til mellem 150 og 250 personer. Jeg har bemærket, at det er et fantastisk sted at se på folk, når et stort show er ved at begynde.

Salt Lake Temple

Dette er ikke et offentligt museum, men Salt Lake Temple, et tempel for Kirken af Jesus Kristus af Sidste Dages Hellige. Beliggende på Temple Square, blev bygningen designet af arkitekten Truman O. Angell i gotisk genoplivningsstil. Dets konstruktion tog 40 år. Det er det fjerde tempel, der er bygget siden Mormon-ekoduset fra Nauvoo, Illinois til Utah i 1840'erne. Templet lukkede i 2019 for ombygning, og kirken vil afholde offentlige åbent hus-ture i den renoverede bygning i 2027.

Capitol Theatre

Beliggende i hjertet af byen er Capitol Theatre en teaterbygning og biograf. G. Albert Lansburgh var arkitekten bag strukturen, som blev designet i italiensk renæssance- og Beaux Arts-arkitektonisk stil. Siden åbningen i 1913 har det været et fremtrædende element i det lokale miljø og er nu et sted, der er optaget på National Register of Historic Places. Jeg synes altid, at facaden ligner en fin kage, hvilket gør det til et meget behageligt sted at tilbringe en eftermiddag. Det er et godt eksempel på byens tidlige ambitioner i det tyvende århundrede.

Japanese Church of Christ

Den japanske kirke af Kristus er en kirkebygning beliggende på 268 W. 100 South i Salt Lake City. Dette sted er en historisk kirke, der er blevet anerkendt for sin betydning gennem sin optagelse som et sted på National Register of Historic Places. Beliggende i Salt Lake City står bygningen som en fysisk registrering af byens historie. Dem, der besøger området, kan finde dette listede sted på dets specifikke adresse, hvor det forbliver et vigtigt eksempel på en historisk kirkebygning i Utahs bylandskab.

Rio Grande Depot

Rio Grande Depot er en tidligere togstation beliggende på den vestlige kant af Downtown Salt Lake City. Denne togstation blev designet af arkitekten Henry Schlacks og afspejler renæssancestilen. Den blev opført i 1910 og er nu et sted, der er optaget på National Register of Historic Places. Du kan bemærke de specifikke stilistiske detaljer på facaden, når du passerer forbi. Jeg har fundet ud af, at gesimserne er et godt sted at holde øje med trafikken på gaden nedenfor.

Clark Planetarium

Du finder Clark Planetarium i centrum af Salt Lake City, beliggende i The Gateway ved krydset mellem 400 West og 100 South. Det er et videnskabsmuseum, der også fungerer som et planetarium og en biograf. Jeg har bemærket, at den åbne planløsning i det omkringliggende område gør det nemt at finde. Uanset om du er interesseret i kosmos eller bare leder efter en filmisk oplevelse, er det et centralt sted for læring og underholdning i hjertet af byen.

Holy Trinity Cathedral

Holy Trinity Cathedral er en østlig ortodoks katedral i Salt Lake City. Konstruktionen af bygningen startede i 1923, og den blev bygget i 1923. Katedralen er designet i byzantinsk genoplivningsarkitekturstil, hvilket du kan se i bygningens form. På grund af dens historiske betydning blev kirken optaget på National Register of Historic Places i 1975. Det er et National Register of Historic Places-listet sted, der fortsat er en aktiv del af lokalsamfundet. Lad mig vise dig detaljerne i facaden, mens du nærmer dig hullet.
