Visitors to Salt Lake City will naturally gravitate towards downtown, where much of the city's culture, entertainment, dining, and shopping is centered. Magna, one of Salt Lake City's suburbs and a characterful city with its own distinct style, sits within 15 miles of downtown. Located near the southern edge of Great Salt Lake, it just might provide the outdoorsy Utah experience you're seeking. Magna is a lot more relaxed than Salt Lake City's inner neighborhoods. Sentiment on the r/SaltLakeCity subreddit is mixed, with many Salt Lake City locals unsure of Magna's appeal beyond its historic Main Street.
