Salt Lake City is capital city of the American state of Utah. It is also the biggest city in the state with 186,440 people. No, it is not a giant city like New York or L.A., but when we look at SLC as part of its metropolitan area then it has 1,124,197, making it a sizeable medium size metropolis. We can also look at the extended metropolitan area known as Wasatch Front, which comprises about 80% of Utah`s population with 2,238,697.
Salt Lake City is home to the headquarters of the Mormons` Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and nearly half of the city`s population is Mormon, at least nominally so.
The climate of SLC is semi-arad, with hot dry summers, and cold winters with plenty of snow. The fall and spring are short transitional periods rather than full-length seasons.
Hopefully you managed to find a nice map of Salt Lake City that is helpful for you. Don`t forget to come back and check out future entries in a variety of countries, regions, and cities.
