Get to know Salt Lake City
Home to five national parks and six national monuments, autumn is the perfect time of year to take in the majestic canyons and rock formations unique to a desert landscape located a couple hours from City Center.
Minutes from the great outdoors, Salt Lake City offers all of the advantages of a metropolitan city. Many museums, restaurants, theaters, and music venues are within walking distance, but Salt Lake City provides a robust public transportation system for destinations that are further away.
