How safe is Salt Lake City?

Salt Lake has some sketchy areas, especially in the more urban areas of town at night, but it generally feels safe. During the day, I feel confident and comfortable in most places alone, but at night there are a few places I would avoid (Liberty Park, Gateway, Downtown SLC.)

It really safe but still keep your guards up as always! You can go anywhere alone and still be safe. Everyone around is pretty nice and will be helpful if needed or asked. The only street that would not be safe is the street homeless lives on and i just say that because majority are addicts

Beautiful city and state! The unhoused can be a concern, but just be aware of you surroundings and avoid dark streets at night. During the day perfectly safe to be alone and see downtown! Hiking in the nearby canyons is beautiful and completely safe as a solo female.

Utah is a safe place in general, and being in Salt Lake City (the biggest city in Utah), I have never had any uncomfortable situations or potential dangerous contact with someone. There is a homeless population there that are scattered throughout the city, but I have volunteered at some homeless shelters and they are very kind, thoughtful people.

Is Salt Lake City worth visiting?

Solo travel experience

I really enjoyed Salt Lake City. The city is quite transparent and extremely clean, with beautiful views of the mountains and hiking trails, as well as plenty of people walking around and spending time in their own ways.
