How safe is Salt Lake City for solo female travelers?
Solo travel
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.

Pretty safe in salt lake if you go out late downtown salt lake just be safe and be aware of your surroundings like any other place you visit. If you visit the mountains bring plenty of water research the hike on how difficult and long don’t want to hike in the dark. Be aware of animal in the mountains there are mountain lions and moose and bears so if hiking alone by proper safety stuff
Posted: December 2, 2025Salt Lake City and other parts of Utah and actually really safe. Public transportation is very clean and well maintained. There are some parts of Salt Lake City where there is more homeless and crime but nothing major and if you stay away from there you’ll be ok People are super nice and friendly and very religious
Posted: May 28, 2025Salt Lake is overall pretty safe, people are respectful and mostly keep to themselves. I’m from here and have mostly all good interactions with strangers in the event of needing help or direction. I feel safe going places/doing things alone!
Posted: January 26, 2025Salt Lake is safe if you are smart- however I would REALLY watch your drinks carefully at clubs, and I would never ever leave anything valuable in a car at night. Public transportation is very safe, and it's very accessible.
