Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah (Beehive State) and it’s
largest city located on the Banks of Jordan river. Once upon a time visited only by roaming
bands of Ute Indians, surrounded by mountains that rise to more than 10,000
feet (3,500 meters) and bordered by the second saltiest body of water in the
world and home to the most visited religious destination in North America.
Salt Lake City sits on the southeastern edge of the Great Salt Lake in northern Utah.
It's one of a string of towns forming an urban chain at the western foot of the Wasatch Mountains.

Estabilished by followers of the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" in 1847 by their leader Brigham Young,
today Mormons constitute about 40% of the city's population.The Town prospered as a supply stop for the California gold rush of 1849-50.
The city spreads out in a perfect grid of square blocks of 14-hectares (35-acres),
constructed to the plans of the Church’s founder, Joseph Smith. The spacious streets are built 40m (132ft) wide.
Mormons can be proud to have played a major role in building a spacious, pleasant, hassle-free city.
The best time to visit is either spring (March to May) or fall (September to November),
Salt Lake City does not experience the extreme summer and winter temperatures found in other parts of the Southwestern USA
and is also recognized as one of the best ski areas in the United States.
There are ten major ski resorts, seven cross country areas, and the nation's only recreational ski jumping complex,
will host the 2002 Winter Olympics.
