This is our favorite taco stand. Our old neighbor's parents' it. They do lunch and early dinner. It takes a while for them to cook the tacos because everything is cooked to order. They have some of the best salsa I have ever tried.

Golf
Nibley Park, which opened in May 1922 after the Nibley family donated the land to Salt Lake City, is the oldest public golf course in Utah. Its central location has made it a popular destination for city dwellers and tourists, offering breathtaking views of the Wasatch Mountains. Fairways and greens are guarded by mature trees, many of which were planted before the early pioneers arrived in Salt Lake City.
The course is about a minute drive from the home or a 10 minute walk. This is great for beginners.

Forest Dale was built in 1906 as the Salt Lake Country Club and holds the distinction of being the oldest golf course in Utah. Forest Dale has undergone several phases of renovation since the City acquired the course in 1935. A major redesign in 1986 maintained the tradition while transporting the course into a contemporary test of golf. Today, it’s a challenging course with several small, original table-top greens that place a premium on accuracy.
This is a great course for beginners.
