Eight years after hosting one of the most successful winter Olympics ever, Salt Lake City is thriving like never before.
Long-known as a gateway for the nation’s most stunning national parks Zions, Bryce, Arches and Yellowstone Salt Lake now offers everything imaginable throughout the year: 11 resorts within an hour of Salt Lake City International Airport featuring “The Greatest Snow On Earth”; access to thousands of miles of hiking and biking minutes from downtown; excellent cultural arts; and a thriving restaurant and bar scene, particularly with the state’s recently “normalized” liquor laws.
Of course, Salt Lake is still best known for its unmatched recreational offerings and the accessibility it offers those looking to visit the great outdoors, winter or summer, while special pass programs add convenience and value.
Skiers and snowboarders have the ultra-convenient, money-saving Ski Salt Lake Super Pass, allowing skiers and riders the ability to visit a different Ski Salt Lake resort every day of their stay. The Visit Salt Lake Connect Pass is offered year-round and features 13 of Salt Lake’s top attractions, from museums to Utah’s Hogle Zoo to the Utah Olympic Park and more.
Combine the convenience of these passes with the metropolitan look, feel and offerings of Salt Lake, not to mention the stunning backdrop of the Wasatch Mountains and ultra-accessible international airport with more than 750 daily flights, and you have what is arguably one of the most complete and diverse vacation and meeting destinations in North America.
