Salt Lake City, Utah

Salt Lake City is nestled in a valley at the foot of two mountain ranges -- the Wasatch to the east and the Oquirrhs to the west. By hosting the Olympic Winter Games of 2002, Salt Lake City boosted its profile as a world-class travel destination, while proving its reputation as an unspoiled family-friendly destination.

The city offers first class accommodations, fine dining, noted attractions, historic sites and great shopping. The city is also quickly becoming a thriving cultural center. Salt Lake City is also the gateway to ten national parks and all are within a day's drive. The past is well-represented too. Salt Lake City is the headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Whatever the reason for your visit, you'll find that Salt Lake City is the right place in any season.
