== Hitchhiking out ==
Don't waste your time trying to hitch out of the city. Take public transit as far as possible before thumbing it. Pretty cheap to get north to Ogden, south to Provo. Many hotels have free airport shuttles. Play it cool and pretend you're a hotel guest. The airport is right on I-80 if you're looking to head east/west.
=== West towards [[Wendover]], [[Reno]] ===
There are a few big truck stops at Lakepoint junction about 10 miles west fo Salt Lake. You can reach it by public bus from the city. Its ether 451 or 453 (towards Tooele), or another 454 (to Grantsville). You can take them on North Temple street, just north of the temple square in Salt lake downtown. Its a normal ~$2 bus fare. Note that there are only a few buses a day, one yearly in the morning and several in the afternoon, so you have to organize yourself.
