Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.

Discover the city's oldest commercial building—erected before the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad—and marvel at three iconic commercial buildings designed by renowned architect Richard Kletting. Along the way, we’ll delve into the stories of Whiskey Street, the Pony Express, and the evolution of ZCMI in the heart of the city.  
  
You’ll also learn about influential Utah figures such as William Jennings, David Keith, Thomas Kearns, and others who helped shape Salt Lake’s development. And yes—we’ll even touch on the city’s more colorful past, including its history of gambling and prostitution, which once occupied half the buildings on Main Street!
