The capital and largest city in the state of Utah, Salt Lake City was founded in 1847 by a group of Mormon pioneers led by Brigham Young. The population of the city proper is just under 200,000 while the overall metro area is just over a million. The city is well known for the Mormon Temple Square and the magnificent looking Temple itself. It is also well known for the Great Salt Lake, which is separated from the city by a large stretch of mud flats.

Another well known point about Salt Lake City is the various winter sports activities that are popular there.

Do all the boring stuff on the To Do list

Salt Lake City, Utah, USA -› Jackson, Wyoming, USA -› ...

Salt Lake City is unique, or maybe I mean its people are. Having brunch at a Denny’s, we were surrounded by tables full of men wearing white shirts and dark ties, earnestly discussing business.

Salt Lake City - the end of day seventeen

Jul 04, 2006 - Jul 26, 2006

Visalia, California, USA -› San Joaquin Valley, USA -› ...

Into one Big City for a change. Today’s trip south will be in the neighborhood of 300 miles, and we tried to make it as painless as possible. Not a whole lot to see whether on main roads or back roads. We took the back roads and had fun looking for Americana. We got a couple of good shots downtown at the courthouse and one driving north towards the State Capital building with the Eagle Gate. No trip to Salt Lake would be complete without a visit to the Home ...
