On July 24, 1847, 143 men, three women, and two children founded Salt Lake City on the eastern shore of the Great Salt Lake. These members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as Mormons, fled to the eastern states largely due to religious persecution and discrimination. They were the first whites to settle in the state of Utah.

After the lynching of the church by its founder Joseph Smith, the church’s second president, Brigham Young, led most of the church’s members in the west: the city area still officially belonged to Mexico and was perceived as hostile to escape. of the territory of the United States. Ultimately this doesn’t happen, but until the US central government could clearly come here, the Mormons were already well enough established that their existence wasn’t threatened.

Going to SLC means more than just a visit to a historic American city. The ski facilities are great and thousands of people come here every year to enjoy the wonderful ski resorts in a city that hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics.

Deer Valley is a world that shines with the best service, fine dining at mountain restaurants, and perfectly groomed slopes that follow the fall line. On top of that, you benefit from a modern and efficient lift system and you can also arrange skiing here at your hotel.
