I told them that Salt Lake is for outdoor folks. Meant for hiking, skiing, etc And use flickr to see.
To be more specific, I would recommend Silver Lake up Big Cottonwood. I also wouldn’t limit your mountain experience to just Big Cottonwood. Little Cottonwood and Immigration Canyons are also great for hiking. Millcreek Canyon is gorgeous, too.
Other things I would suggest are the aforementioned Kennecott Copper Mine, Hogle Zoo, Red Butte Gardens, Thanksgiving Point [shops and gardens], Timpanogos Cave National Monument, and Bridal Veil Falls. The Alpine Loop connects American Fork and Provo canyon and has gorgeous views along the way.
