Location
City insight: Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City is the capital and most populous city of Utah, USA, and the county seat of Salt Lake County. Founded in 1847 by settlers led by Brigham Young, it is one of the principal urban centers of the Great Basin. Summers are hot and dry while winters are cold, so spring and early autumn are the best seasons to race.
