Surrounded by mountain peaks reaching well above 10,000 feet, Salt Lake City combines a unique culture, distinct history, and incredible recreational tours, activities, and adventures, making it an attractive destination not only in the United States, but also on a world wide spectrum. And with the international recognition Salt Lake City is receiving for hosting the upcoming 2002 Olympic Winter Games, the future looks bright for the city.

Olympic Venues are being constructed and renovated as the Games roll near, as are the infrastructure and public transportation systems Salt Lake City will be relying upon. Renting a vehicle is always an option for travelers to the area, and for the visitors' convenience, travel distances and interactive maps are posted on this site.

To get a view of Salt Lake City before heading there, browse through a comprehensive photo gallery or take a live view through one of the city's web cams.

Salt Lake City's Mormon heritage is represented by Temple Square, where the Tabernacle and other famous sights and attractions can be seen. The highly acclaimed Tabernacle choir has won numerous awards, and hosts a variety of productions. Salt Lake City has a large selection of other events and entertainment to choose from.

A growing base for accommodation, and a rapidly expanding number of shops and restaurants will meet the rush of tourists in 2002, while the only uncertain variable, the weather, can be checked out beforehand online.
