About Salt Lake City

Founded by Mormon leader Brigham Young, the capital of Utah has taken strides to move beyond its conservative image. Salt Lake City has become a progressive economic center and vital tourist destination. It was also named site of the 2002 Winter Olympics. Despite its ever-increasing population (800,000+), Salt Lake City remains easygoing and surprisingly intimate. The lake for which it's named is the second-largest salt-water lake in the world. And with the snow-capped Wasatch Mountains looming in the backdrop, outdoor recreation is abundant year-round. Alta and Snowbird have great skiing, and Wasatch State Park offers golf, hiking, and Nordic sports. In town, visitors can take in a Jazz game at the Delta Center or catch the Mormon Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square. In the evening, head down to the Red Rock Brewing Company for a hearty ale.

Did you know?

Covering some 2,000 square miles, the Great Salt Lake is the second largest inland body of salt water in the world (behind the Dead Sea). Because of its unique geographic location-it has no outlet to the sea-centuries of evaporation have left heavy deposits of minerals. As a result, its salinity is eight times greater than that of the ocean. In fact, it's so salty that no creatures can survive in the lake except for brine shrimp.
