  Salt Lake City
Nestled in a valley between the Wasatch Mountains on the east and the Oquirrhs on the west, Salt Lake City is an impeccable mix of a dynamic metropol and a cozy western city. A walk in the heart of the downtown on a tranquil afternoon, a drive up the canyons, an evening watching the deer graze in the meadows resplendent with the wildflowers forming a carpet of spring colours, rock-climbing, biking down the mountains, barbeque by the creek-side - you could do all this and yet spare some time later in the day for an indulging shopping-spree. When the snow flies, Salt Lake City which hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics, turns into a skiers paradise with proximity to about ten world-class ski resorts. The airport is a gateway to ten national parks within a day's drive. Safe and vibrant, beautiful and hospitable, Salt Lake City gives you unparalleled access to natural recreation, dynamic nightlife, historic sites, fine dining and first class accomodations. The city is a thriving cultural center — home to one of the nation's finest regional symphony orchestras, world-class opera, dance, and theater companies, an illustrious choir, and myriad art galleries.
