 Salt
Lake City is the cultural and political center of Utah. With a metro area
of 1 million residents, Salt Lake is Utah's most populace city by a significant
amount, yet remains remarkably pleasant and livable. It has plenty of
cultural offerings, numerous parks and some inspiring buildings, including
the splendid structures of the Mormon Temple Square.
Salt Lake City sits very attractively in a valley beneath the Wasatch Mountains. The mountains provide a splendid backdrop and a variety of great recreational opportunities. In winter piles of dry snow smother the Wasatch providing excellent downhill skiing at 7 large resorts within 45 minutes of downtown. In summer, there is good hiking and mountain biking.
Salt Lake City is located in north central Utah along I-15 and I-80. It is part of the Wasatch Front, the name given to the string of cities and suburbs that forms a continuous urban area along the Wasatch Mountains from Ogden to Provo.
