Price: $$-$$$

Meeting location, time and plan to get to restaurant: Meet at University Guest House lobby at 6 p.m.

Notes: High West is a 30-40 minute ride from Salt Lake, to make it worth the hike out getting a few people to share rides seems reasonable. Every 3-4 people will need to arrange for an Uber/Lyft/Rental Car. A reservation has not yet been made.
