SALT LAKE CITY â Another day of record-breaking temperatures in Salt Lake City Tuesday had many scrambling to the mountains to cool off.
Jennifer Christensen and her three boys spent the morning hiking up to Donut Falls. We just came up. It s hot down in the valley, so we came up here to escape that and just to get out and enjoy the cool weather, Christensen said.
She said they would all rather be in nature than spending time at a packed public pool. There s less people, I mean there s a decent amount, but there are less people here, she added. This is free.

Although it may be best known for “The Greatest Snow on Earth” and the opportunity for skiers to be on the slopes of one of four world-class ski resorts within an hour of landing at the Salt Lake International Airport, I prefer to visit Salt Lake City in the summer. As the perfect powder melts, it fuels crystal-clear waterfalls, and the trails carved into the mountains attract hikers instead of skiers.
July and August are the hottest months in Salt Lake City, with daytime temperatures regularly reaching 90 degrees. But one of the benefits of visiting this high-desert destination is that the night temperatures regularly drop into the 60s.

The chance of “deadly avalanches” in Utah’s backcountry is “likely” over the next few days, according to the Utah Avalanche Center.
Heavy snowfall and drifting from the ongoing winter storm across the state “will continue to overload an exceptionally weak snowpack,” resulting in “very dangerous avalanche conditions,” according to the center.
The chance of avalanches is currently high, and will “likely rise to extreme in some areas,” the center warned in a news release. The risk is highest starting Monday afternoon through Wednesday, and potentially into Thursday.
“Extreme” is the highest level of avalanche danger, when they’re “certain to occur.” And when they do, they may run historic distances; they will be “fast-moving, far-running and very destructive”; and they may reach or occur in places that are not normally affected by avalanches.

One skier clung to a tree to escape the slide and then rescued two others who were completely buried, according to the Utah Avalanche Center.
