My fiancé and I travelled to Utah to celebrate our anniversary (which turned into celebrating our engagement) and to attend a book convention, so we wanted to explore some more of the area. I was recommended to take a look at MTXutah and booked the snowshoeing experience.
CJ picked us up from our hotel in SLC and took us up into the mountains, telling us about where we were as we passed through! We eventually made it to Tea Kettle Lake and trekked all the way around it. Once we finished with that, CJ took us to come overlooks, a frozen waterfall, and then we ended the day with Fizz!
I HIGHLY recommend booking this experience. CJ made me and my fiancé feel safe and comfortable, provided water and snacks, and told us so many interesting facts. The views are unlike anything I’ve ever seen or experienced before, truly out of this world.
The communication beforehand was very nice as well. CJ made sure we knew exactly what to wear, how long it was going to take us to get to our destination, and what the weather was going to be like. I originally wanted to do the moonlight snowshoeing experience, but he was upfront and honest with me by explaining that there would be no moon the week we were there and that he suggested we do a day hike. I really appreciated this!
Two things that I made a mistake on, but that have nothing to do with the experience: 1) Bring sunglasses: though CJ brought some for us, bring your own because it gets bright!
2)Altitude: I’m from the Chicago area so the elevation got me really bad. Be sure to hydrate hydrate hydrate! Hiking that high up is no joke and you will pay for it if you aren’t ready.
All in all, this was something that we’ll remember forever and is a must do if you ever visit the SLC or Park City area!
