Salt Lake City is located in Salt Lake County

Salt Lake City is recognized as one of the best ski areas in the country as there are ten major ski resorts, seven cross country areas, and the nation's only recreational ski jumping complex within an hour of downtown. No wonder it was selected to host the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. However, even if you are not a fan of skiing, you are sure to find something in this great town to keep you occupied.

Apart from having great skiing, Salt Lake City is a haven for historical information. Both kids and adults will find The Dinosaur Museum fascinating with its skeletons, fossilized skin and realistic sculptures. Families will also enjoy reliving the Old West experience by visiting the American West Heritage Center, where life during this time is accurately recreated on a 160-acre living history site. However, if you are more interested in stars, both literally and figuratively, visit the Hansen Planetarium to explore the wonders of the universe and then stop over at the Hollywood Stuntmen's Hall of Fame, where rare artifacts and memorabilia of stars and stunt performers of motion pictures and television are on display.

After a busy day of taking in Salt Lake City's unique ambience, enjoy an elegant dining experience. Salt Lake City cuisine showcases a variety of culinary styles, including American, Cajun, Chinese, Japanese and Italian. If you feel the need to end your evening shortly after dinner you will find a vast array of comfortable accommodations that will insure a restful night of sleep and energy for tomorrow's busy agenda.
