Flights to Salt Lake City, Utah

Hard to believe, this world class city started out with the reputation of being no more than a salt covered wasteland. Today, however, Salt Lake City is adored for its beauty. Surrounded by picturesque views of the Wasatch Mountains on the east and the gigantic Salt Lake on the west, Salt Lake City has something to offer everyone. The land is spread out nicely giving residents plenty of room to move around as they enjoy their care-free existence. Utah’s state capital is also home to some of the most inviting residents who see themselves as simple everyday-folk.

The history of Salt Lake City says that Mormon Pioneers settled on the land while looking for a peaceful place to worship and pray without being bothered by outsiders. Followers of the Church of the Latter-Day Saints, led by Brigham Young, chose this area by the Great Salt Lake as perfect even though many others had overlooked it for years. Visit the historic Heritage Park where you will find the words uttered by Young once their five month search for the perfect spot to settle on was finally found in 1847. More than 150 years later and Salt Lake City is known for its large Mormon population and influences. With close to half of the residents being members of the Church of Latter-Day Saints, many visit the city in hopes getting a glimpse of a lifestyle that is both interesting and foreign to most Americans. 

Although the Mormon faith is what most people think of when they hear Salt Lake City, there is also a thriving business community in the city. Many large technology and software companies have located their headquarters in the city. In addition, Salt Lake City is host to many large corporate conferences and events throughout the year.
