I visited offices in the Silicon Slopes and learned why Utah’s booming tech hub is top-rated for creating workplaces that lure employees in

• I visited Utah’s Silicon Slopes in January 2025. I toured tech offices and chatted with locals.
• One office has cool features, including a gym, pickleball court, and mountain bike rentals.
• Employees also rave about the dining options that they can order using an app.

If you’re even remotely involved in the tech world, you’ve probably heard the buzzy term “Silicon Slopes.” It refers to a stretch of land in Utah’s Wasatch Front region that’s grown into a hub for the tech industry.

When I visited the area in January, I realized it wasn’t always this way. After touring modern tech offices and speaking with longtime locals, I learned exactly how this once-rural area became the Silicon Slopes.

I also saw firsthand why it’s top-rated for its work environment. One of the offices I toured came with really cool perks, such as being able to rent a mountain bike to use on the campus’ nearby trails.
