Salt Lake City

I will soon be visiting the genealogy mecca in Salt Lake City for the first time. As a genealogist, this is a huge deal for me and I am excited at the prospect of all that research. I'll be visiting for a conference, but will have some brief moments to research, plus two researchers will be visiting, who are at my beck and call. My mom and uncle are meeting in SLC to work on a little family research. Yes! I've already informed mom she can use my computer and enter information straight into my software program.

When I travel, I like to visit the area. When I was in Seattle for 24 hours for a job interview, I managed to see the Sci-Fi Museum, the Wharf area, Space Needle, and drive around the city checking out various apartments and neighborhoods. When in Philly for a conference, I completed the historical tour of the city. I would like to see more of the Salt Lake region than just the research facility. Does anyone have any recommendations? I was thinking of driving into the mountains to just experience the views. Can I do this driving I-80? Any help would be appreciated. Obviously, I won't have much time, but would love some ideas and of course, my mom and uncle can check out some sites as well.
