Can a photographer in Utah please tell me a great place to take photos?

Question

I am traveling to the Salt Lake City region this saturday and I wanted to know some great places to take amazing shots.... mountain shots, landscapes.... etc etc

Or if you know of any national parks I can go that will have many shots?!! Any input would be great appreciated!

Answer 1

Arches National Park, Delicate Arch is probably the most recognizable photo from Utah here is some cool spots
1. Arches (All over)
2. Little Cottonwood Canyon (Base and Snow Bird/Alta Ski Resort
3. Mt Olympus (City with mountains)
4. Zions (all over, my favorites are Angels Landing, Subway and the Narrows...all of these require hiking.
5. The Uintas has the best forest scenery.
6. Salt Flats (By far one of the most unique scenes you will ever see in your life) I have worked on some car commercials that were shot out there and there is nothing in the world like watching the sunrise or the sunset on the salt flats...although I am not a huge fan of Sunset pictures)
7. Slot Canyon Paria Utah...

Some less popular places are
1. Goblin Valley
2. Bryce Canyon
3. Sundance Ski Resort

Answer 2

Been there. Salt Lake City really doesn't have a "bad" place to take pictures. It's very scenic and lots to do.

There is a large outdoor mall and an old Union Station depot.
You've got the Mormon Temple, the Mormon Gardens, The convention Center, the geneology building and mountains everywhere, the capitol building....it's al there....and the downtown tram is free.

The wife and I went out there on a business trip 2 years ago and spent a week. When not working we saw the sites.
