Salt Lake City Utah
Salt Lake City is a central location to access many parks, ski areas, and smaller mountain towns. SLC airport serves eleven airlines and is Delta's hub. Car rentals are available at the airport. There is plenty of parking downtown and with the famous Mormon Temple at the middle, the city couldn't be easier to navigate because the streets span out in a grid. Numbered streets increase away from the Temple in increments of 100 and depending on which direction, signs say north, east, south, and west. I-15 and I-80 also converge at the center of town. If you decide to use public transportation instead, there is a mass transit system throughout Salt Lake City area including stops at the airport and ski areas. There are also daily shuttles traveling from the SLC airport to Idaho Falls, ID and on to Jackson, WY. There are plenty of accommodations and eateries no matter where you go in the city.

The Wasatch Mountain range lines the east side of the valley and provides a beautiful background to the city. Settled not 30 minutes away at the foot of this range is Park City, UT, a popular resort town with access to many ski resorts in the winter and many trails in the summer. The stylish and active crowds that this town draws every year make it seem to exist in a world of its own when compared to the large metropolis of Salt Lake. In 2002 Salt Lake City held the winter Olympic games. In Park City tours of the Olympic Park are offered so you can view where Olympians participated in games like the luge and the skeleton. You can even take a ride in a bobsled. Make sure to watch professionals and amateurs practice aerials into a large splash pool directly outside the Olympic Games Museum.
Salt Lake City is considered to be the heart of the Mormon faith and it is hard to miss the lights of many temples at night that seem to make the city glow. Temple Square is located at the center of town and is surrounded by blooming flowers and well manicured lawns from spring to fall and decorated with colorful lights during the holiday season. On Thursday evenings and Sunday mornings you can watch the Mormon Tabernacle Choir perform inside the Tabernacle for free.
If traveling with family, Liberty Park is the city's largest and has a path open year round to walking or running, an interactive fountain mirroring the surrounding mountain range, and a large aviary where you can view birds from all over the world. There is a small fee to enter the aviary and it is open daily. In addition, there are opportunities to visit museums, theatres, an opera house, sports arenas, a zoo and a planetarium in the city. Depending on the time of year you arrive in Salt Lake City, you may come across one of the many annual events like the Sundance Film Festival located in Park City in January, the Utah Arts Festival in June, the Snowbird Oktoberfest at the Snowbird Resort during the months of September and October, or the Alta Holiday Torchlight Parades on Christmas and New Years Eve.
