Somewhere along the way, someone decided the city and the mountains were two different destinations.
We never accepted that.
As if a gourmet lunch and a mountain summit couldn't share an afternoon. As if a trail couldn't end two blocks from a sidewalk café. As if a destination of over a million people couldn't sit next to four world-class resorts.
In Salt Lake, the skyline rises between striking mountains. City streets lead into the canyons. The airport is ten minutes from downtown. Downtown is forty minutes from the ski slopes.
This is Salt Lake.
