In the winter, Lake Mary appears much like the rest of Brighton resort: frozen and covered in snow. But in the summer, this short hike provides a respite from the buzz of the valley. Looks like we've got a full moon on June 1st AND June 30th (blue moon!) -- any takers?

To Do This Summer: Hike Lake Mary Under a Full Moon
In the winter, Lake Mary appears much like the rest of Brighton resort: frozen and covered in snow. But in the summer, this short hike provides a respite from the buzz of the valley. Looks like we've got a full moon on June 1st AND June 30th (blue moon!) -- any takers?

Aristos
Awesome eats of the week!
ARISTOS is an incredibly delish Greek restaurant in Sugarhouse. I guess I really like Sugarhouse because all my favorite places to eat are there.
The price range is from $9 to $13 per entree. Which may be a little more pricey for Utah but is perfect for a New York night out. I went with a group of 5 for dinner before seeing Everything Is Illuminated a couple years ago on the reccomendation of my friend Britta who lived in Sugarhouse growing up. I reccomend the stuffed peppers. They were light but filling. You really can't go wrong with anything you order there.
You can check out the menu on their website.
Enjoy!

Metaphor: Tree of Utah
Now I realize that this is completely random, but I think it fits within the "Cool Things Utah." Seeing as how this "tree" is cool and called Tree of Utah and is only found in Utah, it seems appropriate.
I've always wanted to go and see this masterpiece of randomness but I never made it out to see it whilst I was living in Utah. Maybe someday I'll make a point t travel to see it.
A Little History: Swedish artist Karl Momen created the 87-foot high tree between 1982-1986. He financed the project himself to bring bold color and beauty to the stark, flat, salty landscape. The sculpture is made of 225 tons of cement, almost 2,000 ceramic tiles and five tons of welding rod, and tons of minerals and rocks native to Utah.
You can't miss it because it's right on the side of the road.
Directions: I-80 West, Wendover, UT [Show Map] Directions: North side of I-80, 25 miles east of Wendover, NV; 95 miles west of Salt Lake City. Hours: Daylight, no stopping.
