🇺🇸 Salt Lake City|The Most Beautiful Autumn Brunch Is Here 🍂🍳
The red leaves haven’t fully fallen, yet the snow has already arrived—it’s Utah’s most beautiful season again! As one of North America’s earliest mountain-built lodges, Alta Lodge has been welcoming guests since 1940, including many famous visitors. Economics students will definitely recognize Milton Friedman 📚, and Reagan’s strong support for his free-trade policies remains a hot topic during election seasons. Another notable guest was writer William Buckley ✍️, whose televised debate with Gore Vidal half a century ago is still considered legendary. During the pleasant weather months, Alta offers Sunday Brunch 🥐 in buffet style (à la carte also available). While the menu isn’t extensive or overly refined, the breathtaking natural setting makes it one of my go-to spots. I always extra helpings of the ceviche and tofu noodles, paired with Japanese seaweed and grilled salmon 🍣—so good! Even if you’re not having a full meal, sipping a mimosa 🥂 while gazing at the valley is pure bliss. I once saw an elderly gentleman in a wheelchair, using oxygen but still laughing and enjoying his drink—that’s the life attitude I aspire to! 💫 📌 When reserving, try to request seating on the outdoor patio ⛱️. Non-guests can also make reservations. Luggage can be stored at the front desk. Here’s my perfect autumn weekend routine—copy it, no need to thank me 😉: Stay at Snowbird or Cliff Lodge over a weekend in late September or early October. Right outside is Oktoberfest! Hotel parking is free (valet optional), saving you from public parking and shuttle hassles. As we get older, every ounce of energy should go toward fun! 🎉 Plus, who wants to drive down after a day of drinking? Highly recommend staying overnight—every room has mountain views! 🏔️ On Sunday morning, ask the front desk to arrange a shuttle to Alta (both The Inn and Snowbird Lodge work—they’re under the same management, but Snowbird rooms are nicer). After brunch, just call the shuttle back. Perfect! 🚐 ‼️ They don’t accept Apple Pay.
