Gravity Hill is an optical illusion. Because of the way the road sits next to the mountain, it looks like it's going "down" into the canyon, but that section is actually going uphill. So it looks like you're rolling uphill.
Gravity Hill is a few blocks north by northeast of the Utah state capitol.
Directions/Instructions: North edge of the city. North Temple to State Street, turn on to 2nd. Ave, go up the hill to B St., turn left, go up the hill to 11th Ave., go straight to Bonneville Blvd.
