Though most commonly known as The Crossroads of the West for its geographic location, Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah, is widely known for hosting the 2002 Olympics and hosting parts of the Sundance Film Festival.
When Salt Lake City was first founded by Mormon pioneers in 1847, it became a quick target for mining booms and a stop on the First Transcontinental Railroad. The city is surrounded by the Great Salt Lake to the northwest, Wasatch Mountains on the eastern border and the Oquirrh Mountain Range on the western border, thus making it the perfect location for natural resources and a middle point between the western states.
These mountain ranges have also influenced the city and were a determining factor in the decision for Salt Lake City to host the 2002 Winter Olympics. These XIX Winter Games were held under the theme 'Light the Fire Within' and set two records: being the most populated area to have ever hosted the Winter Olympics and the other was the revival of the Skeleton race as a medal sport. The different venues used were Park City, Ogden and Provo in the mountains. Since the Olympics, these venues have been turned into popular tourist destinations for skiing, snowboarding and more.
Today, Salt Lake City is host to portions of the Sundance Film Festival in January, the largest independent cinema festival in the U.S. It is also home to the NBA's professional basketball team the Utah Jazz.
Citizens living in this famous city have many outdoor activities to engage in throughout the four seasons.
