We've mapped more than 160 Christmas light displays this year in Salt Lake County — and many of the very best are around West Jordan.
Zoom in: The suburb covers a lot of ground, so we plotted a driving route to help you get to some of our favorites.
- Use your mobile device to open the map at the end of this story and zoom to West Jordan. The full drive will probably take over two hours, but you can skip stops as your stamina requires.
The latest: We've also added blue Christmas light icons to mark the biggies — the houses that people go out of their way to visit each year.
- Drive safely and find some lights close to home if the inversion is getting thick. Now, let's get started in southern Taylorsville.
Where to start: Bobsled Circle
- The name says it all! Head east and north to the mob of blow molds at 6296 Lake Fork Circle before seeing two fantastic houses on Longmeadow Drive and continuing south.
Stop 1: Larson Family Lights, 2305 W. 7095 South, is our first "dancing lights" display. Tune in to 87.9 FM to enjoy the full show and consider donating their Make a Wish fundraiser.
Stop 2: Lights on Arthur merges projections and lights with a Disney theme.
- Head north via Camelot Way to see cute inflatables, and take 7000 South to Redwood Road. Take Bora Bora Way to the glittering display at Liesel, then head south.
Stop 3: Hollow Moor Cove is Santa's slam dunk.
- Now head to Bueno Vista Drive, where you'll see a holiday countdown clock at 2511 West before following beams of light to the south.
Stop 4: 2569 Bueno Vista is pure chaotic goodness, with a wall of toys, a sparkling octopus and a team of alicorns driving the sleigh. Pay respects at the "Rainbow Bridge," where neighbors are leaving tributes to beloved pets.
Stop 5: Alice Drive has several nice displays, with the massive one at 2665 West collecting donations for The Christmas Box House.
Stop 6: Say hi to my donkey friend at the live animal nativity scene just over South Jordan's border.
Stop 7: Bring your selfie stick for 2840 West.
- If you're chauffeuring kids, you won't want to miss the inflatable hoard a mile from here, at 3228 W. 10755 South.
- On your way back to West Jordan, check out Alstead Cove and the dueling houses at 10058 S. Yorkshire Drive.
Stop 8: 9170 South has more Christmas cheer than you can fit in a single photo.
- Misfits belong at 8943 S. 4420 West, while Minions fans will enjoy 5011 Cherry Laurel Lane (near another light show at Morning Lily Court).
Stop 9: Lights on Soliai, shown in the GIF above, is well worth the trip to the edge of the city.
Stop 10: 5311 Cygnus Hill Cove is a holiday classic.
- If you still have gas in the tank, continue to 6662 Liza Lane for more lights than you can shake a jelly of the month club membership at.
