Salt Lake City At Night

The state of Utah is well-known for its largely Mormon population and world-famous Great Salt Lake, but there is a lot more to the "Beehive State" than that! First of all, there is world-class skiing on the Salt Lake Snowshoe Trails along with lots of Spectacular winter scenery. In fact, the Salt Lake area offers some of the finest winter recreational opportunities you'll find anywhere! If you prefer playing in water of the liquid variety, there are many exciting rafting adventures available around Salt Lake City. You can experience the beautiful Colorado and Green rivers on rafting excursions that last anywhere from a few hours to several days. Visit Salt Lake City in the summertime and have the time of your life on the water, but be prepared to get very wet and stay that way for a while! There are plenty of other wonderful opportunities for outdoor fun and excitement in the Salt Lake City area such as golfing, biking, hiking and a whole lot more, but some of Utah's most interesting things to see and do are right in Salt Lake City itself! There is a lot of interesting history to explore in Salt Lake dating all the way back to Utah's pre-statehood. This area is the birthplace and world headquarters of the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints, and the strong Mormon influence has helped shape the lives of most Utah citizens. It has also had a profound impact on Salt Lake City's architecture, a perfect example of which is the Salt Lake City Hall building featured in today's picture!   Picture Of The Day Homepage | Submit a photo Interesting Articles
