Spend some time exploring area galleries, museums
Utah's historical and contemporary art markets embrace all styles of visual art, making for hours of stimulating and educational diversion.
Getting to some of the galleries and museums, however, will require a car to travel short distances. Still other venues, such as the Brigham Young University Museum of Art and the Springville Museum of Art, will necessitate a 30- to 40-minute drive.
But it's definitely worth the time.
