    On July 24, 1847 Brigham Young looked down into a great salt lake valley and declared, "This is the right place." By sheer will and their strong faith in God, they Mormon poineers had to endure the hardship of the isolated and arid spot to make it what it is today, Salt Lake City.
    They fought hard to irrigate the desert to grow enough food for themselves. The square consist of the Temple which took 40 years to complete. The Tabernancle that seats 6,500 and it's domed roof is the largest in the world. There are two vistor center that display religious and historical aspects of Mormon life, a beautiful assembly hall used for large gatherings, and the Log Cabin, the oldest house in Salt Lake City.

    Another massive beautiful building. It most definitely stands out and it appears there is a garden on the upper level of the building, that I could tell. One neat aspect is that most of these structures have tours you can see them first hand. So make some time to enjoy them.

    Its not a activity as such, but well worth the visit for the architecture if you are not religiously inclined as it really is truely amazing.

    The christmas lights were put on when I was down there, and that was worth seeing as well.

    Be prepared for it being very crowded though.

    The best time to see myriad of tulips at the Temple Square Garden is early May. Christmas is also a good time to visit as you can see thousands of lights decorating the garden.

    No Buskers, smoking, drinking, and many others. But don't worry, everything is posted nice and clearly. The layout of the gardens and the temples are amazing. It's an oasis in the middle of a bustling city in the middle of the desert. You don't have to be Mormon to appreciate this. Of course, I may have done something illegal to get this picture.

  • If you have at least 2 hours in layover at the Salt Lake City airport you can take advantage of what must be the best tourist bargain ever. The transport to and from the airport and the tour of Temple Square is free according to ads in the welcome magazine I read on my Delta flight. They have special vans which leave from the airport on a regular schedule.
