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?
Although credited with founding Salt Lake City, Brigham Young is not the founder of the Mormon religion, as many assume. That distinction goes to Joseph Smith, who is said to have unearthed sacred texts that he subsequently transcribed into the Book of Mormon (1830).
