Easter to-dos Fun, local activities will keep you hopping
Davis County: A trip to the S & S Railroad and Museum is a nice family option. Train rides are available on 7-inch-gauge or 24-inch-gauge rail. There's also a collection of 90 engines and cars and a replica of a freight station. Call 801-451-3278 for information.
Located on Hill Air Force Base is the Hill Aerospace Museum, with more than 70 actual aircraft, missiles and aerospace vehicles. The museum is east of I-15 near Roy.
A number of Easter egg hunts will take place throughout Davis County on Saturday. For locations and times, visit www.utah.com/daviscounty/.
Salt Lake City: City Creek Canyon is open again after being closed for a few months. This is a great place for a family hike or picnic weather permitting, of course.
There's always Hogle Zoo and Tracy Aviary, and across from the zoo is This Is the Place Heritage Park, with a whole village of early buildings.
Park City: This was, of course, one of the key locations of the 2002 Winter Games, and there are a number of opportunities to review Olympic sites. Six miles from the city is the Utah Olympic Park, which includes ski jumping and bobsled venues as well as an Olympic ski museum.
A number of the buildings along Park City's historic Main Street actually date back to the early silver-mining days. Today there are plenty of opportunities to shop and enjoy fine dining.
Logan: The American West Heritage Center features a living historic site of the Old West. A number of hands-on activities make it enjoyable for all ages. (800-225-3378). Few people probably know it, but there's the Willow Park Zoo in Logan, which features more than 600 animals, including elk, deer, black bear and wolves. (435-750-9893).
Fishing: There are a number of good fishing spots, whether interests are with spin casting, traditional baits or fly fishing. The latest reports show fishing is good at Echo Reservoir, Rockport, Weber River, Jordanelle, Provo River, Currant Creek and Scofield. For a complete, up-to-the-minute report, visit www.wildlife.gov/fishing.
