The Avenues: Historic residential area with stunning city views
"
💡 Tips from Dan
Your Road Warrior Guide
- •When visiting The Avenues, the best times are spring and fall when temperatures are mild, and the foliage adds vibrant colors to the historic homes. Wear comfortable walking shoes, as the area features steep hills and charming, narrow streets perfect for exploration. Don’t forget your camera; the panoramic city views from vantage points like Ensign Peak are breathtaking, especially at sunset. Be respectful of residents by keeping noise levels down and avoiding trespassing on private properties. While The Avenues is generally safe, remain aware of your surroundings, particularly in less populated areas. Finally, take time to appreciate the unique architecture and local art installations, which tell the story of this historic neighborhood.
