Dog Swimming in Salt Lake City


Not only humans enjoy taking a cooling bath in a lake or swimming pool, but also our lovely pets. Unfortunately, many places either do not allow dogs at all to be there or only to walk with you on the leash. Fox Rent A Car knows what to do! We have found out where you can take your dog swimming in Salt Lake City, your dog’s summer is saved!

Dog Swimming in Salt Lake City: Rotary Glen Park

This park is a little hard to find, but the search is definitely worth it! The dog park area at Rotary Glen Park is close to a major road, but it is fenced and neither pets nor owners or drivers have to worry about any accidents caused by dogs or cars. The main bonus of Rotary Glen Park is a huge pond. Located in the middle of the dog park area, every dog loves to jump into the water to enjoy that extra piece of fun! Make sure you bring a towel to get your dog dry and cleaned before you take him or her back home.

Dog Swimming in Salt Lake City: Mill Creek Canyon Off Leash Dog Area

This area has a few restrictions towards off-leash times. You can take your dog here and let him or her run freely only on odd numbered days. This is however not allowed on all trails, but only on the Big Water train, Great Wester trail, Little Water, as well as Neff’s Canyon and Pipeline Trail. You have to make it to Dog Lake in the middle of the canyon; your dog will go crazy about this adventure!

Dog Swimming in Salt Lake City: Tanner Park’s Parley’s Way Dog Park

If you have a very active dog this is the place to go. There is a 2.5 round trip hiking trail in the park that gets your dog nicely tired and relaxed. Then stroll to the middle of the park, where you will find a beautiful creek. If the currents are not too strong your dog will have a great time cooling down, playing with other dogs and enjoying water games, while you get your break after the hike and watch your pet as happy as he or she can only get! This is place is dog heaven.

Give your dog some time off and entertainment on those warm summer days! After a long and hard winter it is time to explore Salt Lake City’s dog swimming places – and who knows who you and your dog will meet there!

Biking Trails in Salt Lake City by Fox Car Rental


We all know Salt Lake City as a great place for winter sports, such as skiing or ice hockey. But what about the summer time? How about a sports day trip – biking in Salt Lake City. There are numerous trails you can explore at all various levels. Whether you want to do a family trip or want to challenge body and bike to an extreme, having more than 20 trails to choose from in the Salt Lake City area, there is something for everyone! Today, the Fox Rent A Car team wants to present 5 of the most beautiful biking trails in Salt Lake City to you.

Biking Salt Lake City – Porter Rockwell Trail:

This 7-mile trail is ideal for family trips, since it is easy to ride even for the little ones. Starting from Draper City Park at 1300 East and 12500 South, it will guide you down South to Bangerter. It is ideal to spend the day outside on the bike, going very easily and smoothly.

Biking Salt Lake City – Mueller Park Trail:

This is a great trail for hiking, biking and even horseback riding! For 7.5 miles you will get guided from the Mueller Park Picnic Area up to North Canyon, and back again to Mueller Park. This is a great trail for a relaxing bike ride, however it can get quite busy during the nice summer weekends.

Biking Salt Lake City – Mill Creek Pipeline:

With a lower altitude, this mountain biking trail stays open from mid-April through November. The total length from the beginning at the Elbow Fork to the view point and back is 14 miles. You need to be in a good condition and this trail is too hard for children and those of you who just started mountain biking. However, there are four ways to exit the trail when you feel its getting too much.

Biking Salt Lake City – Ghost Falls:

This mountain biking trail will take you to the small, yet beautiful Ghost Falls. Round trip is about 6 miles and the trail is accessible for mountain bikers and hikers. The easiest place to park and start your ride is at Orson Smith Trail Head Park in Draper City, UT.

Biking Salt Lake City – Wasatch Crest Trail:

Wasatch Crest Trail is only for the fitter ones among us. The high elevation, as well as steep parts of the trail require an excellent stamina and quite some experience in mountain biking. This one is nothing for the kids! The ride is 9.2 miles on single track and while it is hard, you will find some amazing wildlife out here! Ride on the “Backbone of Utah”!

Whether you plan a family trip or need to power yourself out, there are so many options out there in Salt Lake City. For the new ones and for visitors, there are even tour companies that offer bike tours. You may also want to check out this website , where you can find all trails evaluated, rated and described. This website is a good way to see whether the trail you have picked is the right one for you.

We wish you a great summer and biking season! Don’t forget to take plenty of water with you and try to ride in the early evenings so that you do not over-exhaust yourself in the heat of the day. If you want to list any other biking trails in Salt Lake City, feel free to do so. We’d love to hear from you!

Memorial Day Events in SEA, PHX, LAS and SLC


For all those of you who excitedly waited for part 3 of our Things To Do On Memorial Day saga, here you go! Fox Rent A Car is proud to present a variety of events to you that take place this Memorial Day Weekend. For the other posts, you may refer to Memorial Day in Northern California and Memorial Day in Southern California. Again, have a wonderful time with whatever you may be up to, and wherever you may be!

Memorial Day Events in Seattle, WA

Those of you who will spend their Memorial Day in Seattle, you have a couple of options you can choose from. The biggest event this year will be the The 39th Annual Northwest Folklife Festival at Seattle Center. From dancing and music, visual arts, folklore, workshops, craft demonstrations and films, this festival expects about 250,000 visitors in four days. Tickets are free! Why not enjoy the crowd for a while, and then get away from it all and remember how lovely Mother Earth is! Hop into your car and visit the Snoqualmie Falls. The 270 foot waterfall attracts more than 1.5 million visitors each year. Get some fresh air, take advantage of hiking trails and eventually get the obligatory souvenir. For some rather general piece of advise about things to do in Seattle, go here and also  read our previous posts here.

Memorial Day Events in Phoenix, AZ

This year, Memorial Day in Phoenix offers a variety of events you can chose from. For the more patriotic readers, how about a visit of the Red, White and Blue event? The Phoenix Symphony will play patriotic songs at the Symphony Hall on May 29th. Also at the Symphony Hall, you can listen to the Patriotic Pops, both on May 28th and May 29th. On May 31st you can go to the Avondale Civic Center for the Memorial Day Ceremony, starting at 7 pm. You prefer having a weekend with action and fun? How about a visit at Castles ~n~ Coasters with the family? Or you head over to Mesa, AZ to go to Golfland. There are water slides, mini golf, a raceway and so much more to do! On another note – Phoenix Comicon is taking place on Memorial Day weekend! Phoenix, you will be very busy this Memorial Day weekend.

Memorial Day Events in Las Vegas

Besides the hundreds of thousands of tourists streaming to Las Vegas for their Memorial Day weekend trip, there is actually something more to do and see than the obligatory casinos, hotels, pools and clubs. How about visiting Lake Mead or Lake Mohave? Being out on Lake Mead with the beautiful scenery of the Hoover dam, which you can also stop by at and take one of the Hoover Dam tours offered about this amazing construction. Be careful though, it will be crowded. If you prefer clubbing, partying or visiting shows,  here is a pretty good overview about the Memorial Day events in Las Vegas.

Memorial Day in Salt Lake City, UT

Spending Memorial Day Weekend in Salt Lake City? Your weekend will not stand behind Phoenix or Las Vegas at all. You are probably already preparing for the State Capitol Half Marathon, taking place on May 31st at 7am. If you rather watch sports than doing it, May 28th is the day for you: the Utah Blaze welcome the Arizona Rattlers at The E Center of West Valley City. You don’t like sports at all? See the show of The Three Musketeers, which will be at Hale Centre Theatre. Adult tickets are about $25.
