Last Note About Lodging...

PLEASE MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS BY JUNE 23rd! The block will not be held beyond that date, and there is a risk that the rooms will no longer be available. That weekend is a state holiday in Utah, so it may be difficult to find a room otherwise. So, please do not delay. If you call Snowbird and make a reservation through the phone, you only need to pay for one room, and the rest upon arrival. So make sure you get on that!

Other than that, those of you looking for fun in the city may find this useful! There is definitely a lot to do there, so get looking!
