A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Millcreek Common
Millcreek Common (1354 E Chambers Ave, Millcreek, UT 84106) has quickly become the city’s central gathering hub, featuring Utah’s largest outdoor skating loop and a massive climbing wall. For event planners, the logistical hurdle is the limited parking garage space located off 1300 East. When hosting large groups for the "Magic on the Common" winter festivals or summer concerts, we recommend utilizing a 35-passenger minibus to shuttle guests from overflow lots at the nearby St. Mark’s Hospital or local churches. Your drivers utilize the designated loading zone on Chambers Avenue, ensuring your group avoids the congestion of the 1300 East and 3300 South intersection. Open daily from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM (hours vary for skating), it is the premier spot for community bonding. Call our expert reservation team at 385-215-8709 to arrange your shuttle circuit.
Mill Creek Canyon
Mill Creek Canyon is a high-demand destination for weddings at Log Haven or corporate picnics at the Terrace Picnic Area. However, the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest strictly regulates vehicle size; 56-passenger motorcoaches are generally too large for the tight turns and narrow bridge crossings past the fee station (3800 Mill Creek Canyon Rd, Millcreek, UT 84124). For these routes, Charter Bus Millcreek recommends our fleet of 25-passenger minibuses or 15-passenger luxury sprinter vans. These vehicles easily navigate the $5-per-car fee booth (buses are priced higher based on capacity) and can drop off directly at the trailhead or restaurant entrance. Note that on even-numbered days, dogs must be on leash, making it a busy time for hikers—plan for early morning drop-offs to secure turnaround space at the top of the canyon.
Log Haven
Log Haven (6451 Mill Creek Canyon Rd, Salt Lake City, UT 84109) is a nationally acclaimed wedding and dining venue that sits about four miles up the canyon. The primary pain point here is the extremely limited, narrow parking lot that cannot accommodate oversized vehicles alongside guest cars. We provide specialized wedding shuttle service using silver or white 25-passenger minibuses to transport guests from hotels in downtown Salt Lake or the Hyatt Place SLC/Cottonwood. Your driver will drop guests at the main entrance circle and then stage the vehicle at the lower pull-off areas to keep the venue entrance clear for the bridal party. This avoids guests having to navigate the unlit canyon road at night after enjoying the extensive wine list.
Baldwin Radio Factory
The Baldwin Radio Factory (3474 S 2300 E, Millcreek, UT 84109) is a unique, historic industrial space now housing artist studios and creative offices. It’s a frequent stop for educational tours and local history buffs. Located just off the 2300 East thoroughfare, the facility has a rugged, gravel-style parking area that is tricky for low-clearance vehicles. We suggest using a school bus rental or a standard charter bus with high ground clearance. Drivers should enter from the north side to ensure enough swing room for the turn. Since this is a working artisan space, hours vary by studio, but group tours are typically scheduled between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. We can coordinate a drop-off right at the main brick entrance, allowing passengers to step directly into the gallery space.
Big Cottonwood Regional Park
Big Cottonwood Regional Park (4300 S 1300 E, Millcreek, UT 84117) serves as a massive 100-acre green space perfect for family reunions and youth sports tournaments. With multiple pavilions and the Larry H. Miller Softball Complex, the park sees heavy weekend traffic. The main entrance off 1300 East can bottleneck during tournament play. Our 56-passenger charter buses utilize the oversized vehicle stalls in the South Lot near the Holladay-Lyons entrance to stay out of the way of standard passenger cars. If you’re bringing a local school team, we provide school bus rentals with enough undercarriage storage for bats, balls, and coolers. The park is open from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and we recommend arriving via 3900 South to avoid the heavy 4500 South commuter flow.
St. Mark’s Hospital Corporate Shuttles
As one of the largest employers in the area, St. Mark’s Hospital (1200 E 3900 S, Millcreek, UT 84124) often requires professional transportation for medical conferences or employee park-and-ride programs. Navigating the hospital campus in a large motorcoach requires precision. Your drivers use the Main Entrance loop for VIP drop-offs or the West Parking Structure areas for staff shuttles. To avoid the constant siren traffic on 3900 South, we often route our 15-passenger executive sprinter vans through the back access roads. These vans feature leather reclining seats and climate control, providing a quiet environment for visiting physicians or administrators traveling from Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC).
The Old Mill
Though currently a historic shell, The Old Mill (at the base of Big Cottonwood Canyon, just south of Millcreek) remains a landmark for photography groups and local tours. Located near the intersection of Wasatch Blvd and Big Cottonwood Canyon Rd, the area is a notorious traffic "chokepoint" during the winter ski season (November–April). If your group is heading here for a photoshoot or to transit into the canyons, Charter Bus Millcreek provides 4-wheel drive capable sprinter vans or ruggedized minibuses. We advise avoiding this intersection between 7:30 AM and 9:30 AM on powder days, as UDOT often implements traction laws that can delay travel by over an hour. We’ll help you time your departure to beat the "Canyon Commute."
Olympus Hills Shopping Center
Olympus Hills Shopping Center (3939 Wasatch Blvd, Millcreek, UT 84124) is the go-to staging area for groups heading toward the East Bench or Mount Olympus trailheads. The parking lot is expansive but features steep grades and tight curbs. For hiking clubs or private groups, we offer 20-passenger minibus rentals that can park in the periphery of the lot near Dan’s Foods. This is a perfect "last stop" for supplies before heading into the mountains. Your driver can wait on-site while your group grabs local snacks, then provide a short 5-minute transfer to the Pete’s Rock or Mount Olympus trailhead. This eliminates the "car-shuffling" nightmare at the tiny trailhead lots which are often full by 6:00 AM on Saturdays.

Can your buses drive all the way to the top of Mill Creek Canyon?
