Easy 20-25 min travel to University of Utah and 10-15 min to downtown. Airport is 10 min away. Trax is very close and convenient for public transportation.

The Natural HIstory Museum at the university was very interesting. A lot of information on Native American heritage, and a multilevel exhibit of dinosaur bones, and wonderful pictures of Yellowstone National Park. Plus, you could watch restoration staff working.
