SALT LAKE CITY Road trips became more popular last year as Utahns wanted to travel more safely during a pandemic.
Between Memorial Day weekend and the final stages of a pandemic, many Utahns are likely taking to the road this weekend for fun and adventure.
Here are three excellent road trip destinations within a 4-hour drive from Salt Lake City.
