Team Outing Salt Lake City
Skip the conference room, walk the grid where Brigham Young's pioneers stopped in 1847. Climb the steps of the granite Utah State Capitol, follow City Creek down to downtown, walk Temple Square as a team and look up at the snow-capped Wasatch on every block. A Salt Lake offsite that gets squads moving without anyone breaking a sweat.

Frequently asked questions
Half a working day. Three to four hours covers Temple Square, the Utah State Capitol, City Creek Park and Liberty Park at a relaxed pace. The grid is famously oversized (660-foot blocks), so distances feel longer than they look. Most squads walk between Temple Square and the Capitol, then rideshare to Liberty Park.
Best for teams of 8 to 50, split into squads of 4 to 8 that race each other through the same route. The Salt Palace Convention Center and Hyatt Regency have meeting space within a block of Temple Square if you want a private kickoff or close.
The Temple itself is closed and largely scaffolded for a multi-year seismic renovation expected to wrap around 2027. Temple Square remains open and the Tabernacle and visitor centres still welcome guests. The hunt photographs the Square as a whole.
Temple Square is the natural starting point: free parking in the City Creek garage one block south, the Tabernacle and visitor centres anchor the kickoff photo, and the State Capitol sits at the top of the hill ten minutes north. From there City Creek Park drops you back into downtown.
Yes. Temple Square is flat and accessible, the State Capitol has elevators and accessible entrances, City Creek Park is paved, and Liberty Park has wide accessible paths. The walk up State Street to the Capitol is uphill but moderate; substitute a rideshare for any teammate who prefers.
