West Jordan is a city of about 115,000 people in the southwest Salt Lake Valley, between the Jordan River and the Oquirrh Mountains. Settled by Mormon pioneers in the 1850s, it grew around farms, a sugar factory and the Gardner flour mill, and it is now one of the largest suburbs in Utah.
Gardner Village, built around the restored 1877 Gardner Mill, is the city's most charming stop, with historic cabins turned into shops, a restaurant and, every October, a famous witch-themed festival. The Jordan River Parkway trail runs along the city's eastern edge, and historic homes such as the Jensen-Jensen House and the John Farrer House recall pioneer days.
Veterans Memorial Park hosts concerts and the Western Stampede rodeo each July, and Salt Lake Community College has a campus in town. The Bingham Canyon Mine, one of the largest open-pit mines in the world, is visible in the Oquirrh Mountains to the west, and downtown Salt Lake City is about 20 minutes north.
A collection of historic pioneer homes and cabins moved around the 1877 Archibald Gardner flour mill, now filled with boutiques, home decor shops and a restaurant in the old mill. It is famous for its WitchFest each October and holiday lights in winter. Weekdays are calmer.
