Utah is a unique balance of modern sophistication and rustic wonder. Salt Lake City, Ogden, and Provo cluster beneath the alpine peaks of the Wasatch Range. Paved upcountry roads give easy access to Utah’s many ski resorts. In Salt Lake City, after a stroll through Temple Square and a visit to Brigham Young's historic home, attend a weekly Mormon Tabernacle Choir concert or daily organ recital. Also visit the State Capitol, with its commanding valley view, and the Hansen Planetarium, with its museum and library. Then drive to Great Salt Lake, an inland sea more saline than the ocean.
