Salt Lake City

by Kate Duffy and Bryan Larsen

Published 1 March 1998
Salt Lake City is nestled between the undulating curves of the Wasatch Mountains and the arid grandeur of the Great Salt Lake Desert, Eight times saltier than your average ocean, the Great Salt Lake stands as a mysterious backdrop to the city: its shimmery blue waters tempt the eye while its salinity makes it inhospitable to everything but brine shrimp. But rest assured; this body of water is just about the only thing in the area that isn't welcoming you to jump right in! In The Insiders' Guide RM to Salt Lake City, our local authors have provided their favorites among the latest-breaking and most exciting attractions, arts, nightlife, restaurants, winter recreation, kidstuff, bed and breakfasts, RV parks, mountain resorts and much, much more. The area's vibrant Mormon population and its history and culture are also explored. Whether you're an independent traveler, are planning a move or have lived in Salt Lake City for years, this informative, smart and eye-opening guide shares what's unique about the city busily preparing for the 2002 Winter Olympics.
