Food & Nightlife
Northern Utah
Logan, Ogden, Salt Lake City, Park City and Provo are all urban hubs of great dining fun cultural events and live music on the edge of mountain adventures in the northern part of the state.

Moab, Kanab, Bluff, St. George and Cedar City cater to adventure's sophisticated side with dining and cultural hotspots. Aside from these popular foodie basecamps, all Utah towns have their own flavors to try, but be mindful to check closing times and for Sunday dining availability.
