[Did you just call me Coltrane?]

Lots of non-Mormon outsdoors stuff to do. If you want to see how the other half lives, drive up to Park City for a day. It is about a 45 minute drive from SLC. Lots of shops/restaurants on the main strip, and then ski areas likely have hiking, etc. during summer months. If you want something a little closer to SLC and less touristy, head into the nearby canyons for some hiking. Here is a fairly informative link -- http://www.go-utah.com/DG_nonComm_Hi...50DAB32CA6.cfm
I've done the Dog Lake hike before (and others, but my memory for names is not great).

You also might want to check out downtown just for kicks. Temple Square is something to see, even if they won't let non-Mormons anywhere near the inside of the Temple. University of Utah is fairly close to downtown and that area might be your best bet for locating a good pub. I know there are a few brew pubs around and that it is possible to buy a drink there without joining a private club (one of the ways liquor laws there are circumvented), but it's been a while so I have no specific tips right now. Have fun in Moab!

I've hiked in both the Canyonland and Arches National Parks. Just a phenomenal experience. Both the Islands in the Sky and the Needles section of the Canyonlands are breathtaking. Both parks are very close to Moab.
