SALT LAKE CITY AND ITS SKI RESORTS
Best Time to Go & Visit & Travel to
Utah

Salt Lake City - the capital of Utah, the host city of the 2002 Winter Games and the world-wide headquarters of the Mormons Church - is the political and cultural center of the State.

Salt Lake City is by far Utah's most populous city – 1 million people – and has wide cultural offerings, a splendid downtown (the Mormon Temple Square…) and top world class skiing resorts a couple of miles away.

WHAT TO VISIT IN SALT LAKE CITY

Salt Lake City downtown is particularly attractive and the city offers a peaceful and very pleasant ambiance. The Temple Square is the cultural and spiritual heart of the city (it houses the Mormon Church, and the Mormon Tabernacle), but all the blocks around are particularly enjoyable and includes several top references:

- the Salt Palace
- the Delta Center
- the ZCMI Center
- the Crossroads Plaza
- the Family History Library
- the Beehive House
- the State Capitol…

All this area offers not only historic sites but also plenty of restaurants and cultural options: ballet, opera, art galleries, concerts, music, ethnic festivals (First Night on New Years Eve, Summertime Downtown Farmers' Market, Bluegrass Festival, Blues Festival, the Greek Festival (September), Twilight Concert Series, Festival of Trees before Christmas).

The Wasatch Mountains region, north of Salt Lake City, provides magnificent recreational opportunities: there are seven large ski resorts within 45 minutes of Salt Lake City downtown, including Snowbird, Brighton, Solitude and Alta resorts. This region also offers excellent hiking and mountain biking (in Summer, Spring and Autumn).



BEST TIME TO VISIT SALT LAKE CITY AND ITS SKIING RESORTS

If you want to enjoy winter resorts, the best time to go is obviously during the ski season: from mid-November to early May.

If you aren't interested in ski, there isn't exactly a best time to go to Salt Lake, but Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November) offer the most agreeable weather conditions.

If you want to bet in low hotel rates, weekends are a good option. You will find lots of excellent deals.


WHEN NOT TO GO TO SALT LAKE CITY


Winter has colt temperatures and plenty of snow. If you aren't interested in ski, you may want to avoid winter. See the table below, for details on weather.
