Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City sits at the base of the Wasatch Range in Utah, where the mountains rise sharply above the broad Salt Lake Valley. Founded by Mormon pioneers in 1847, it remains the headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; Temple Square and the Utah State Capitol are among its defining civic landmarks. The city’s wide street grid reflects its early planned layout, while the nearby Great Salt Lake gives the region its name and a distinctive inland setting. Winter sports, hiking and urban cultural institutions all sit within the same metropolitan area.
