Combining the amenities of a major metropolitan area with the
friendliness of a small, western city, Salt Lake City is fast becoming
one of America's foremost destinations--and for good reason. A beautiful,
safe, and vibrant city, Salt Lake combines unparalleled access to natural
recreation, a bustling economy, dynamic nightlife, remarkable history,
warm hospitality, and Utah's Greatest Snow on Earth.TM

Salt Lake is nestled in a valley at the foot of two mountain ranges
the Wasatch to the east and the Oquirrhs to the west. In spring, the
canyons are adorned with wildflowers and impromptu waterfalls.

During summer, hiking, rock climbing, and mountain biking are just
minutes away. A blaze of brilliant foliage erupts on canyon walls in
autumn. When the snow flies, it graces the slopes at ten world-class
ski resorts including Alta, Brighton, Snowbird, and Solitude. Daily
sunshine, low humidity, and refreshing mountain breezes combine
for a comfortable year-round climate.

Hosting the Olympic Winter Games of 2002 enhanced the
community's profile as a world-class travel destination,
while showcasing Salt Lake as an unspoiled, family-friendly
destination.

Whether you visit for a convention, skiing, shopping,
or sightseeing, you will find Salt Lake is the right place
in any season. www.visitsaltlake.com
