Salt Lake City, Denver, or Phoenix?

If you were traveling the first week of September, which one of those
cities would you prefer to visit, and why?

In the first place, I wouldn't visit any of them for the city. Both
Salt Lake City and Denver are close to the mountains, and Phoenix
which is further away from nice red rock country and also close to the
east a very nice drive around the Superstition Mountains. Phoenix
will be hot, possibly the other places, but there you can escape into
the cooler close mountains.

You could always let airfare and flight availability dictate which one
to choose.

Denver.
Better access to a wider variety of mountain scenery, Rocky Mt N Park
for example.
Utah is just tooooo conservative for my blood.

Denver. With the rockies nearby there's lots to do and you
can stay cool. September in Phoenix can be brutally hot
SLC would be a close second but only as starting point for
a drive to either the Utah NP's or Yellowstone

Depends on who's paying. Are you paying for my travel?

Denver or Salt Lake, in that order, though even there it's perhaps a
better time to visit the nearby mountains than the city itself unless
your reason for going is strictly indoors. Phoenix is much lower
in elevation as well as in latitude, and will still be cracking 100
deg. F every day (possibly by a wide margin) and there is some chance
of high humidity by local standards as well.

You didn't say where you're from, but note also that that's the week
of the Labor Day holiday, traditionally the last hurrah of summer
vacation in the US. You might avoid the crowds if you can slip your
schedule by as little as a week, though from a weather standpoint you
might want two or three weeks (more like four or five in the case of
Phoenix itself).


Enjoy your trip,
