Salt Lake City

Salt Lake combines the amenities of a large metropolitan area with the ease of a small town. Salt Lake’s symphony, ballet, theatres and film scenes delight audiences year-round. Sports fans thrill to hockey, baseball, and, professional basketball. Outdoor enthusiasts find hiking trails a mere five minutes from downtown. And, no matter which activity you choose, there’s a pub, bistro, restaurant, or café ready to complement the event.
