Salt Lake's shopping is concentrated downtown as well as in several malls. Good bets for souvenirs include books, Mormon crafts, and Western collectibles. The vicinity of 300 South and 300 East streets has several shops that specialize in antique jewelry, furnishings, art, and knickknacks.
One of the country's top outdoor-equipment retailers, Backcountry has a flagship store in West Valley City that comprises a small showroom and massive (200,000-square-foot) back room where you can shop or pick up products you've ordered online. Skiers, boarders, campers, and climbers all favor this place.
This big and well-stocked downtown retailer geared toward skiing, snowboarding, and other winter-sports gear and apparel—both for sale and for rent—also stocks plenty of warm-weather items, including paddleboards, mountain bikes, tents, and more. You can also buy lift tickets.
