Salt Lake City’s Temple Square: Gaze upon the towering spires of the majestic Salt Lake Temple (open only to Mormon church members), attend one of the daily organ recitals in

continues to Salt Lake City, the state capital of Utah and home to the world headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or the Mormon Church. Just west of Salt Lake City lay the 30,000-acre Bonneville Salt Flats, site of the World of Speed racing events where numerous land speed records have been set. From Salt Lake City, the California Zephyr continues on
through Reno, Nevada and Sacramento, concluding its 2,438-mile journey near San Francisco at Emeryville, California. Amtrak travelers wishing to explore more of Utah’s scenic splendor, however, may choose to rent a car in Salt Lake City and drive south to experience the state’s cowboy and Native American heritage and its magnifi cent, unspoiled landscape, including Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef and Zion National Parks, located about fi ve hours from Salt Lake City.
Sundance Resort: Skiing, hiking, fl y fi shing and horseback riding are just a few of the many activities offered at this year-round resort located just 15 minutes from Provo. Comprised of some 6,000 acres of protected wilderness at the base of
Mt. Timpanogos, Sundance combines the best of Western outdoor living with a fl ourishing artists’ colony and the amenities of a luxury resort.
