SALT LAKE CITY - UTAH
Salt Lake City is an ideal place to
spend a few days with the family and relax in
a pleasant, small city atmosphere. Located amid
the towering mountains of the Wasatch Front, Salt
Lake City offers beautiful scenery and world-class
sporting opportunities. Almost one million people
call Salt Lake City and the surrounding areas
home, a strong testament to the attractions of
this special city.
Outside
the city, Utah's beautiful landscape and unique
geological features continually amaze visitors.
The Great Salt Lake is the second saltiest body
of water in the world, and it has been mysteriously
refilling itself in recent years, leading to
an explosion of life in and around the lake.
The Timpanogos Cave National Monument leads
to several miles of exciting and interesting
underground sights. The center of the caverns
opens up to display a vast array of dazzling
white crystals.
Salt
Lake City's greatest outdoor venue continues
to be its mountains. The Wasatch Mountains
offer some of the best skiing in the world
and are one reason why Olympic officials chose
Salt Lake City to host the winter Olympics
in 2002. For years, travelers tended to overlook
this serenely beautiful, sunlit, historic city,
but this is no longer true. The whole world
seems to be coming to Salt Lake City, and the
city and its people are ready.
