On July 24, 1847, 143 men, three women, and two children founded Salt Lake City on the eastern shore of the Great Salt Lake. These members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as Mormons, fled to the eastern states largely due to religious persecution and discrimination. They were the first whites to settle in the state of Utah.
After the lynching of the church by its founder Joseph Smith, the second president of the church, Brigham Young, led most of the church’s members west: the area of the city still officially belonged to Mexico and was perceived as hostile to escape. of the territory of the United States. Ultimately this doesn’t happen, but until the US central government could come here clearly, the Mormons were already well-established enough not to be threatened in their existence.
Going to SLC means more than just visiting a historic American city. The ski facilities are great and thousands of people come here every year to enjoy the wonderful ski resorts of a city that hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics.
In a city that has so many tourist attractions, there are definitely no problems finding the best accommodation to make your vacation an unforgettable experience. You can reserve your accommodation online or you can purchase a vacation package that includes your hotel room and flight to SLC. Either way, there are plenty of SLC hotels for you to choose from.
Lake Tahoe ski resorts on the Nevada-California border in the Sierra Nevada offer tourists the perfect setting for the ideal ski vacation. This is perhaps one of the best known ski locations in the United States. However, right in the immediate vicinity of SLC, Utah, there are perfect one-ski conditions. The proximity to the Great Salt Lake is the area where the greatest amounts of snow occur each year.
Only 35 minutes separate SLC from the “Greatest Snow on Earth.” In no American city are the surrounding ski areas faster and easier: Alta and Snowbird in Little, Solitude and Brighton in Big Cottonwood Canyon, plus Park City, Deer Valley, and The Canyons. Hotels in SLC offer an extremely attractive price/performance ratio and are therefore the ideal low-cost starting point for your individual safari in the surrounding ski areas.
Almost all SLC hotels are located in the vicinity of the best ski resorts in the area and offer tourists ski transfers and ski passes that help them in their skiing.
Park City was a thriving silver mining town that has evolved over the past few decades into one of the premier ski resorts in the US. The city lift will take you directly from SLC’s main drag into historic downtown of the mountain. The main entrance to Park City Ski Resort, however, is about a mile north of the resort center, which is easily reached via free shuttle buses you can arrange from SLC hotels.
Deer Valley is a world that shines with the best service, fine dining at mountain restaurants, and perfectly manicured slopes that follow the line of fall. On top of that, you benefit from a modern and efficient lift system and you can also arrange skiing here at your hotel.
