Located on the South end of the Great Salt Lake, here's where the Mormons trekked west in 1874. The small area population grew rapidly aided by folks heading to the California gold rush communities. Today, people revel in the area's abundant outdoor recreation pursuits including skiing, hiking, and biking.
