What to see and do in Salt Lake City, Utah
Visited October 2008
Salt Lake City is the capital city of the state of Utah in the western United States. It is situated in a valley surrounded by mountains, including the Wasatch Range to the east and the Oquirrh Mountains to the west. The first American explorer in the Salt Lake area was Jim Bridger in 1825. The Great Salt Lake is separated from Salt Lake City by extensive marshlands and mudflats.
