Intro

Salt Lake City, the capital of the state of Utah as well as the largest metro-area in the state. Unfortunately SLC is the lesser frequented city in the mountain region of the United States, widely being overshadowed by Denver as well as the skiing areas of Breckinridge and Vail.

What people usually miss is a quaint little city with a population of just over 200k, with breathtaking views and a lot to offer, and so much to offer within a stones throw.

Conclusion

If you are looking to explore a city in the west, steeped in rich history and exquisite beauty, make sure you don’t miss Salt Lake City. It is a region filled with beautiful lakes and parks, vast entertainment, and amazing restaurants. It also gives you the option to explore the mountain region of North America if your schedule allows, being a city less than 10 hours from 5 other major cities in the county.
