| 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.
