Publisher's Synopsis
From the time of the earliest Spanish explorers, followed by the mountain men in the fur trading expeditions and emigrants on their way to California, the colourful history of the Salt Lake region is both exciting and diverse. Mormon leader Brigham Young and his followers established Salt Lake City in 1847 and claimed it as their Zion. Today, the spectacular city is a mix of high-rise buildings and Victorian mansions with elaborate flower gardens. It is both the headquarters of the Mormon Church and a high-tech haven and has been selected as the site for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. Salt Lake City Uncovered is the perfect guide to the region's best hiking and biking trails, premier mountain ski resorts, selected bed and breakfast inns, houses of worship, museums, restaurants, and much more. Written by author historians Sierra Adare and Candy Moulton, Salt Lake City Uncovered will inform and entertain history buffs, newcomers, and visitors to this dynamic city of the future.
