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.

Sports Salt Lake

Wasatch County Library invites aspiring and experienced writers to join multi-published and award-winning author and artist Sara Fitzgerald for a hands-on writing workshop focused on the idea that everyone has something worth sharing.Through a series of writing exercises and prompts, participants will learn how to draw from their own experiences and emotions to develop stories, characters, themes, and a unique creative voice. The workshop will also address the fear of having “nothing important to say” and help participants find a meaningful place to begin. You don’t need a glamorous life, a perfect plan, or complete confidence to begin. You already have something worth sharing.Sara Fitzgerald is a multi-published and award-winning author and artist. Her novella Making a Mess of Things received the 2025 Gold Quill Award from the League of Utah Writers, while A Kiss for Kate received the 2024 Silver Quill Award.
