Nestled between two spectacular alpine mountain ranges – the Wasatch to the East and the Oquirrhs to the West, Salt Lake City is a thriving cultural center, full of character and adventure. Home to the Olympic Winter Games of 2002, the world focused its attention on Salt Lake, and played a part in transforming this lovely unspoiled place into a city of international stature.
Founded in 1847 and rich in American history, Salt Lake is known as the “Crossroads of the West” due to its easy access by highway, rail and air. Convenient in every way, Salt Lake International Airport is located just 10 minutes from downtown.
Salt Lake guarantees extraordinary sights, attractions and activities boasting excitement that rivals any major city. Take time to explore any of the renowned museums and art galleries or immerse yourself in fine music, dance or theater found throughout the city. Situated at the foot of the Wasatch Front in the Rocky Mountain Range, Salt Lake’s city center is only 15 minutes from the great outdoors - trails for hiking, paths for biking, courses for golfing and rocks for climbing.
After the meetings are done each day, the advantages of a setting like this are too many to mention. Daily sunshine, low humidity, and refreshing mountain breezes combine for a comfortable year-round climate. Summers bring wildflower-covered slopes, in addition to some of the finest golf, fly-fishing and outdoor mountain activities you’ve ever seen. A blaze of brilliant foliage erupts on canyon walls each autumn. Winter brings over 500 inches of “The Greatest Snow on Earth”, making Salt Lake City a Mecca for skiers and snowboarders. When the snow flies, it graces the slopes at seven world-class resorts located minutes from downtown, including Alta, Brighton, Snowbird and Solitude. The canyons are a sight to behold in spring, adorned with wild flowers, impromptu waterfalls, and fascinating wildlife venturing out to greet the new season. With such an immense variety of options, Salt Lake City is the perfect destination for outdoor enthusiast and cultural aficionado alike.
