In June 2021, The Salt Lake Tribune launched the 150 Things to Do newsletter in honor of the Tribune’s 150th anniversary.
The project aimed to highlight unique Utah things to see and do, from small towns to hiking trails to restaurants.
150 Things recently highlighted its final item. While many are about events that have long since passed, others — like guides to local hiking trails or places to eat — might inspire your next outing or getaway.
Here’s a roundup of every story written for the project.
