Public high schoolA public high school is a high school that is funded by the government using income from taxes. Most high schools in the United States are for students between the 9th and 12th grades, or approximately 14 to 18 years old. In the USA, most grade levels are referred to with pet names, instead of by number. These are generally: freshman for 9th grade (though some schools are changing this for more gender-neutral alternatives), sophomore for 10th grade, junior for 11th grade and senior for 12th grade.
Public education encourages an acceptance of diversity less common in privately funded schools, because no one can be denied education in public schools (although challenges to this have been made in the past, the most famous being that of segregation). Curriculum guidelines are determined by the state and county government, though each school determines their own curriculum based on these guidelines.
The stated purpose of public high schools is to prepare students for post-secondary education (i.e. vocational school or technical school, community college or junior college, and university). Schools also provide open forums for communication between students, teachers, administration, and parents. The format of these schools can provide for interaction between students and teachers, thus teaching adolescents how to deal with adults beyond their immediate family.
Public schools also allow for variation in programs, including magnet programs (which allow students to study the basics of a given career or career field) or International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (a rigorous academic program). There are several levels of coursework, as well, including regular or average coursework (taught on the high school level), advanced or honors coursework (taught on an advanced high school level), Advanced Placement (college-level work taught in a high school-level setting. Tests are administered over the course of two weeks at the end of the academic year that give high school students the opportunity to earn college credit), dual enrollment (college courses available to high school students for free; a passing grade ensures both college and high school credit), and remedial classes (for students that need extra attention to meet benchmarks).
Public high schools also provide many extra-curricular activities for students to participate in. These allow students to form friendships with people they might not otherwise meet, and to pursue or further develop interests. Some national clubs and activities available to most schools include:
- Band
- DECA
- FBLA
- National Honor Society
- Orchestra
- National Forensic League
- Speech and Debate
- Science Olympiad
- Student Council

Salt Lake City, Utah
, Salt Lake City's top tourist draw. Shown during the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.]]
Salt Lake City is the state capital and most populous city in the U.S. state of Utah. The city's population, as of the 2000 Census, was 181,743. It is the seat of Salt Lake County, which contains the entire Salt Lake Valley with 15 other municipalities and has a population of 978,285. The Salt Lake City metropolitan area includes two additional counties, Summit and Tooele, whose total population was estimated at 1,005,232 in 2003. It is situated with two other metropolitan areas along the Wasatch Front, which have a combined population of 2,009,595 as of 2005.
The city occupies the north end of the Salt Lake Valley at an elevation of 4,330 feet (1,320 m). The valley is surrounded by mountains that rise up to 6,500 feet (1,980 m) above the valley floor. Named after nearby Great Salt Lake—in fact, the original name was "Great Salt Lake City"—the city is separated from the lake's shore by marshes and mudflats. Residents are known as "Salt Lakers."
Founded in 1847 by a group of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) led by Brigham Young, Salt Lake City is among the region's oldest cities and is the location of the headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Mining and railroads initially brought economic growth, and the city became known as the "Crossroads of the West." The city has developed a strong tourism industry and was host to the 2002 Winter Olympics.
History
Before Western settlement, the Shoshone, Ute, and Paiute had dwelled in the Salt Lake Valley for thousands of years. The first Caucasian Europeans to settle in the valley were the Latter-Day Saints on July 24, 1847. They had traveled across the nation seeking an isolated area to practice their religion, away from the persecution they had faced in the East. Upon arrival their religious prophet Brigham Young reportedly stated, "This is the right place."
These newcomers organized a new state called Deseret and petitioned its recognition in 1849. The United States Congress rebuffed the settlers in 1850 and established the Utah Territory. Great Salt Lake City replaced Fillmore as the territorial capital in 1858, and the name was subsequently abbreviated to Salt Lake City. The city's population swelled with an influx of religious converts, making it one of the most populous cities in the Old American West.
Old American West]
Disputes with the federal government ensued over widespread religious practice of polygamy. A climax occurred in 1857, with President James Buchanan declaring the area in rebellion when Brigham Young refused to step down as governor. The conflict called the Utah War began. A division of the United States Army marched through the city and found that it had been evacuated. This division set up Camp Floyd approximately 40 miles (65 km) southwest of the city. Another military installation, Fort Douglas, was established in 1862 to maintain Union allegiance during the American Civil War. Many area leaders were incarcerated at the territorial prison in Sugar House in the 1880s for violation of polygamy laws. The LDS Church conceded in 1890, releasing "The Manifesto," which officially renounced polygamy in the church. This paved the way for statehood in 1896, when Salt Lake City became the state capital.
The First Transcontinental Railroad was completed in 1869 at Promontory Summit on the north side of the Great Salt Lake. A railroad was connected to the city from the Transcontinental Railroad in 1870 making travel less burdensome. Mass migration of different groups followed. They found economic opportunities in the booming mining industries. These groups constructed the Greek Orthodox Holy Trinity Cathedral in 1905 and the Roman Catholic Cathedral of the Madeleine in 1909, the first major churches not of the Latter-Day Saint faith. Both cathedrals are historic icons.
Population growth began to stagnate during the 20th century with the advent of suburban life. High birth rates combined with migration from defunct mining towns led to explosive growth in its suburbs. As a result the suburban population greatly outnumbers the city proper itself. A major concern of recent government officials has been combating inner-city decay. The city lost population from the 1960s through the 1980s, but recovered in the 1990s.
1990s pictured in the background.]]
During the 1990s growth rates increased. Many Californians experiencing recession migrated for economic reasons. Utah had escaped the brunt of the turmoil.
Significant demographic shifts have been experienced. Hispanics account for approximately 19% of residents. The Glendale section is predominantly Spanish speaking. Jackie Biskupski, an openly gay woman, was elected in 1998 as a Utah State representative. Bosnian, Sudanese, Afghan, Somali, and Russian refugees have settled in the city under government programs. There is also a large Pacific Islander population, mainly made up of Samoans and Tongans. Many of the Pacific Islanders are members of the Mormon church.
Salt Lake City was selected as the host to the 2002 Winter Olympics in 1995. The games were plagued with controversy. An Olympic bid scandal surfaced in 1998 centered on accusations of bribery. During the games, other scandals erupted over contested judging scores and illegal drug use. Despite the controversies the games were heralded as a financial success, being one of the few in recent history to profit. In preparation major construction projects were initiated. Local freeways were expanded and repaired, and a light rail system was constructed. Tourism has also increased, and the new Olympic venues are now used for local sporting events. Both have had a significant and lasting impact.

Salt Lake City is located at . The total area is 110.4 square miles (285.9 km²). It sits in the Salt Lake Valley at an average elevation of 4,327 feet (1,320 m) above sea level.
The Wasatch Range rises approximately 11,500 feet (3,500 ) above sea level 5 miles (8 km) to the east of Downtown. The Oquirrh Mountains, located 7 miles (11 km) west of the city, rise to about 10,000 feet (3,050 m). The Traverse Mountains at the south end of the valley rise to 6,000 feet (1,830 m) above sea level, partially bridging the gap between the Wasatch and Oquirrh ranges. These mountains are also the namesake of the Wasatch Front. Within the city there is a sharp rise in elevation as one travels north or east from the city center. There is an elevation range of approximately 1,000 feet (300 m), from about 4,220 feet (1,285 m) at various points in the west near the Jordan River and Great Salt Lake to 5,200 feet (1,585 m) in the Upper Avenues and Federal Heights neighborhoods and the upper East Bench.
Three major canyons cut through the Wasatch Range and open into Salt Lake City proper. The northernmost is City Creek Canyon that opens into the downtown, bordered on either side by Capitol Hill and The Avenues. Next is Emigration Canyon, the canyon the Mormons used to initially enter the valley. It opens up on the East Bench just south of the University of Utah, near Hogle Zoo and This Is The Place State Park. Traversed by Interstate 80, Parley's Canyon opens up at the very southeast corner of the city proper near Canyon Rim, an unincorporated residential suburb.
The valley floor consists of the lakebed of ancient Lake Bonneville. This lake once encompassed the eastern Great Basin. Its largest remnant is the Great Salt Lake, located 10 miles (12 km) north of the city. The Bonneville Salt Flats west of the city are a product of the dried up lake. Because of its high salinity content, the Great Salt Lake is devoid of most aquatic life. Marshlands and mudflats exist on the border of the Great Salt Lake. Algae buildup and decay commonly result in a phenomena known as "lake stink", which serves as one of the only reminders to Salt Lakers that they live near a major body of water.
Algae
The Jordan River flows through the city from Utah Lake to the Great Salt Lake. Early Latter-day Saint settlers named the river after its counterpart in the Holy Land, noting similarities as a freshwater lake source and an inland salt-sea destination.
Significant seismic activity has been forecasted for the area. The Wasatch Fault, located in the Wasatch Mountains, is considered overdue for a major earthquake. Concerns have been voiced over possible damage resulting from the liquefaction of the clay and sand-based soil during an earthquake.
Cityscape

The city, as well as the county, are on a grid plan. Most major streets run approximately north-south and east-west. There is about a twelve-degree variation of the grid from true north. Its origin is the southeast corner of Temple Square, the block containing the Salt Lake Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Addresses are coordinates within the system. One hundred units are equal to 1/8th of a mile (200 m), the length of blocks in downtown Salt Lake City. Locals often abbreviate the addresses when speaking. For instance, one might speak of the intersection of 700 East and 2100 South as 7th East and 21st South.
Latter-day Saint founder Joseph Smith planned it in the "Plat of the City of Zion". In his plan the city was to be developed into 135, 10-acre lots. However, the blocks became irregular during the 1800s when the LDS Church lost authority over growth and before zoning ordinances in the 1920s. The original blocks allowed for large garden plots, and many were supplied with irrigation water from ditches that ran approximately where modern curb and gutter is laid. The original water supply was from City Creek; subsequent development of water resources was from successively more southern streams flowing from the mountains to the east of the city.
There are three distinct street patterns in Salt Lake City:
- Initial square blocks crisscrossed by later small streets
- 2.5 acre (10,100 m²) blocks in the Avenues
- Rectangular blocks south from 900 South
Neighborhoods
1920s
Salt Lake City has many informal neighborhoods. The eastern portion of the city has higher property values than its western counterpart. This is a result of the railroad being built in the western half as well as scenic views from inclined grounds in the eastern portion. Immigrants find housing more affordable on the west side, which results in demographic differences. Interstate 15 further solidified these divisions. However, recently, these demographic differences have begun to even themselves out. For example, the small, increasingly trendy Marmalade District on the west side of Capitol Hill, once considered seedy as few as 5–10 years ago, has experienced a magnificent recovery to become an eclectic and sought-after location.

Climate
Template:List of Salt Lake City neighborhoods
Salt Lake City's climate is separated into four very distinct, widely variable seasons. A cold, snowy winter is followed by a wet spring with wide temperature swings. Overnight snow often accompanies heavy rainstorms in early spring. Summer is dry with scattered and small but powerful thunderstorms, while the climate in fall is widely variable, even more so than in spring.
Winter weather is moderated by the Great Salt Lake to the northwest of the city and the Rocky Mountains to the north and east of the state, which serve as barriers to frigid arctic air. Salt Lake City's record low temperature is −30°F (−34°C), set on February 9, 1933. Snow is frequent from late November through March. The airport averages 58.7 inches (1,491 mm) per year, with significantly higher amounts received on the benches. Major sources of precipitation are winter snow storms originating in the Gulf of Alaska, late winter rains from Hawaiian waters, and summer monsoons from the Gulf of California. During winter, temperature inversions are common, which result in cold, hazy, and foggy conditions in the valley, while the surrounding mountains enjoy warm, sunny days. Winter temperatures rarely drop below 0°F (−18°C), making winters more bearable than most other places that lie at similar elevations.
temperature inversion
Summers are likewise moderated somewhat by the lake, and also by the city's high elevation. Days over 100°F (38°C) occur on average 4–5 times per year, but such days are marked with low humidity, which, combined with the altitude, produce a large daily range in temperatures, and hence, rather cool nights in summer. Salt Lake City's record high temperature is 107°F (41°C), first set on July 26, 1960, and again on July 13, 2002. Humidity is low during summer, making summers comparatively comfortable. The summer monsoon rising from Mexico and Arizona passes through the region beginning in mid-July and continues through September, bringing intense but short thunderstorm activity. Salt Lake City's yearly average temperature is 52.0°F (11.1°C). May is the wettest month while July is the driest. The airport averages 16.50 inches (419.1 mm) of precipitation per year.
Demographics
As of the census of 2000, there are 181,743 people (up from 159,936 in 1990), 71,461 households, and 39,803 families residing in the city. This amounts to 8.1% of Utah's population, 20.2% of Salt Lake County's population, and 13.6% of the Salt Lake metropolitan population. Salt Lake City proper covers 14.2% of Salt Lake County. Salt Lake City is more densely populated than the outlying metro area with a population density of 643.3/km² (1,666.1/mi²). There are 77,054 housing units at an average density of 272.7/km² (706.4/mi²).
The Salt Lake City-Ogden metropolitan area, which included Salt Lake, Davis, and Weber counties, had a population of 1,333,914 in 2000, a 24.4% increase over the 1990 figure of 1,072,227. Since the 2000 Census, the Census Bureau added Summit and Tooele counties to the Salt Lake City metropolitan area, but removed Davis and Weber counties and designated them as the separate Ogden-Clearfield metropolitan area. Together with the Provo-Orem metropolitan area, which lies to the south, a roughly continuous urban corridor along the Wasatch Front is formed, which has a combined population of over 1.7 million.
There are 71,461 households, out of which 27.0% have children under the age of 18 living with them, 41.1% are married couples living together, 10.2% have a female householder with no husband present, and 44.3% are nonfamilies. 33.2% of all households are made up of individuals, and 9.7% have someone living alone who is 65 years of age or older. The average household size is 2.48, and the average family size is 3.24.
In the city the population is spread out with:
- 23.6% under the age of 18
- 15.2% from 18 to 24
- 33.4% from 25 to 44
- 16.7% from 45 to 64
- 11.0% who are 65 years of age or older
The median age is 30 years. For every 100 females there are 102.6 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there are 101.2 males.
The median income for a household in the city is $36,944, and the median income for a family is $45,140. Males have a median income of $31,511 versus $26,403 for females. The per capita income for the city is $20,752. 15.3% of the population and 10.4% of families are below the poverty line. Out of the total population, 18.7% of those under the age of 18 and 8.5% of those 65 and older are living below the poverty line.
About half of Salt Lake City's residents are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This rises to about 75% for the state's more rural municipalities, averaging about 60% for Utah as a whole.
Law and government
Since 1979 Salt Lake City has had a nonpartisan mayor-council form of government. The mayor and the seven councilors are elected to four-year terms. Mayoral elections are held the same year as three of the councilors. The other four councilors are staggered two years from the mayoral. Council seats are defined by geographic population boundaries. Each councilor represents approximately 26,000 citizens. Officials are not subject to term limits. The most recent election was held in 2003.
2003.]]
The city has elected Democratic Party mayoral candidates since the 1970s. Councilors are elected under specific issues and are usually well-known. Labor politics play no significant role. The separation of church and state is the most controversial topic with an ongoing Bridging the Religious Divide campaign.
Party platforms are centered on education, economic development, and transportation. The city and county's political demographics are liberal and Democratic. This stands in stark contrast to most of Utah's other counties where Republican and conservative views dominate. For example, on the question of Amendment 3 (a 2004 state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage), in the county 54 percent of voters favored it while in neighboring Utah County 82 percent did.
The current mayor is Rocky Anderson, who gained international attention for actively organizing a protest against President George W. Bush during his visit to Salt Lake City for the 2005 Veterans of Foreign Wars convention. He is also well known for his strong support of gay rights (including same-sex marriage), the Kyoto Treaty, transit-oriented urban planning, and the relaxation of Utah state liquor laws.
Economy
urban planning
The modern economy of Salt Lake City is service oriented. In the past, mining and railroad operations provided a strong source of income. Today the city's major industries are government, trade, transportation, utilities, and professional and business services.
Local, state, and federal governments have their largest presence in Salt Lake City, accounting for 21% of employment. Trade, transportation, and utilities account for another 18% of employment, with the major employer's being the regional Delta Air Lines hub at Salt Lake City International Airport. Equally significant are the professional and business services, which account for another 18% of employment. Health services and health educational services comprise an additional 10% of employment. Other major employers include the University of Utah, Sinclair Oil Corporation, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Besides its central offices, the Church owns and operates a profit division, Deseret Management Corporation and its subsidiaries (such as Bonneville International Corporation and Deseret Book), which are headquartered in the city. Smith's Food and Drug is based in the city but is owned by national grocer Kroger. Other notable firms based near the city include Franklin-Covey in neighboring West Valley City, Overstock.com in nearby Cottonwood Heights, and Arctic Circle Restaurants (the inventor of fry sauce) in Midvale. Salt Lake City was once the headquarters of ZCMI, one of the first-ever department stores; it was sold to May Department Stores, which was later bought by Federated Department Stores. Former ZCMI stores now operate under the Meier & Frank label.
Other economic activities are call centers, tourism, and conventions. Tourism was stimulated by the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. Many hotels and restaurants were built for the Olympics, which now suffer post-Olympic market saturation. The convention industry has blossomed in the city after construction of the Salt Palace convention center, which hosts the annual Outdoor Retailers meeting, among other conventions.
In the latter 20th century, urban sprawl created fierce suburban economic competition, resulting in inner-city decline as the suburbs grew rapidly. Large family sizes and low housing vacancy rates, which have inflated housing costs along the Wasatch Front, have led to one out of every six residents living below the poverty line.
Education
Wasatch Front
Education has always been a priority in the Salt Lake Valley. In 1847 pioneer Jane Dillworth held the first classes in her tent for the children of the first Mormon families. In the last part of the 1800s, there was much controversy over how children in the area should be educated. Mormons and non-Mormons could not agree on the level of religious influence in schools. Many Mormon youths in grades 9 through 12 attend some form of religious instruction, referred to as seminary.
Because of high birth rates and large classrooms, Utah spends less per capita on students than any other state. Money is always a challenge, and many businesses donate to support schools. Several districts have set up foundations to raise money. Recently, money was approved for the reconstruction of more than half of the elementary schools and one of the middle schools in the Salt Lake City School District, which serves Salt Lake City proper. There are twenty-three elementary schools, five middle schools, three high schools (Highland, East, and West), and an alternative high school (Horizonte) located within the school district.
Postsecondary educational options in Salt Lake City include the University of Utah, Westminster College, Salt Lake Community College, the BYU Salt Lake Center, and the LDS Business College. There are also many trade and technical schools such as the Utah College of Massage Therapy. One of the main campuses of Salt Lake Community College is also here. The University of Utah is known as the birthplace of modern computer graphics.

Culture
Arts
The Utah Museum of Fine Arts, Utah Museum of Natural History, and the Museum of Church History and Art are some of the museums located in Salt Lake City. Other museums include the Utah State Historical Society, Daughters of Utah Pioneer Memorial Museum, Fort Douglas Military Museum, and the Social Hall Heritage Museum. Clark Planetarium houses an IMAX theater.
Salt Lake City provides many venues for both professional and amateur theatre. The city attracts many traveling Broadway and off-Broadway performances. Local professional acting companies include the Pioneer Theatre Company, Salt Lake Acting Company, and Plan-B Theatre Company.
Salt Lake City is the home to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir as well as the Utah Symphony Orchestra, which was founded in 1940 by Maurice Abravanel and has become widely renowned. The orchestra performs at Abravanel Hall in the western downtown area. The city also has a typical music scene featuring local blues, rock and roll, and punk groups. There are also many clubs which offer musical venues.
As evidence of Utah's burgeoning club music scene, over 200 bands submitted tracks for a 2004 compilation by a local music zine, SLUG ("Salt Lake Underground"). The 15-year-old free monthly zine trimmed the submissions to 59 selections featuring diverse music types such as hip-hop, jazz, jazz-rock, punk, and a healthy variety of rock and roll.
The University of Utah is home to two of the best dance departments in the country, the Ballet Department and the Department of Modern Dance. Professional dance companies in Salt Lake City include Ballet West, Rire Woodbury, and Repratory Dance Theatre.
Events

Although the city is often stereotyped as a predominantly Mormon city, it is culturally and religiously diverse. The city is the location of many cultural activities, Mormon and otherwise. The largest parade is the Days of '47. It occurs every July 24 on Pioneer Day, a Utah state holiday commemorating the Mormon pioneers' entry into Salt Lake Valley. The second largest parade is the Utah Pride Festival, which occurs every June. It celebrates the city's diversity as well as the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered community. Other major events include the First Night, a New Year's celebration, and the Greek Festival, a weekend festival in September celebrating Utah's Greek heritage. Salt Lake City also hosts portions of the Sundance Film Festival.
Media
As the capital and largest city in Utah, Salt Lake City has many diverse media outlets. Most of the major television and radio stations are based in or near the city. The Salt Lake City metropolitan area is ranked as the 31st largest radio and 36th largest television market in the United States.
Print media include newspapers, such as the one-time rivals The Salt Lake Tribune, and the Deseret Morning News (both major daily newspapers), as well as a relatively new alternative weekly, Salt Lake City Weekly. Other more specialized publications include Nuestro Mundo of the Spanish-speaking community and Salt Lake Metro of the LBGT community. There are many local magazines, such as Salt Lake Magazine (a bimonthly lifestyle magazine) and SLUG ("Salt Lake UnderGround"), an alternative underground music magazine.
SLUG
KSL-TV is one of Utah's oldest television stations. KSL has downtown studios at "Broadcast House" in the Triad Center office complex. Most other television stations had until recently moved out of the downtown core and relocated in the suburbs. However, KUTV was recently given a Redevelopment Agency (RDA) grant, and moved its studios to Main Street. Its news desk overlooks the street, with a large window behind the anchor desk.
Because television and radio stations serve a larger area (usually the entire state of Utah, as well as parts of western Wyoming, southern Idaho, parts of Montana, and eastern Nevada), ratings returns tend to be higher than those in similar-sized cities. Some Salt Lake radio stations are carried on broadcast translator networks throughout the state.
Salt Lake City has become a case of market saturation on the FM dial; one cannot go through more than about two frequencies on an FM radio tuner before encountering another broadcasting station. A variety of companies, most notably Millcreek Broadcasting and Simmons Media, have constructed broadcast towers on Humpy Peak. These towers allow frequencies allocated to nearby mountain communities to be boosted by smaller, low-powered FM transmitters along the Wasatch Front.

Salt Lake City's downtown core houses a collection of old and new structures, with several twenty-plus-story steel and glass towers adjacent to late 19th-century brick and mortar. The tallest building in the city is the Wells Fargo Center, at 24 stories and 422 feet (128 m), although the LDS Church Office Building has 28 stories and actually appears higher as it stands on slightly higher ground. The Wells Fargo is sometimes referred to as the American Stores Tower, though the grocery chain American Stores never moved in as it merged with Albertsons in 1999. The building was subsequently sold to Wells Fargo. The third highest Salt Lake skyscraper is One Utah Center, adjacent to the Wells Fargo Center.
As the headquarters for the LDS Church, several top tourist draws exist in and around downtown Temple Square, including the Salt Lake Temple, the historic Tabernacle, and the newer LDS Conference Center, which seats about 20,000. The LDS Genealogical Library, just west of Temple Square, ranks among Utah's most popular tourist destinations (along with Zion National Park). Another popular attraction is the architecturally unique Salt Lake City Public Library, currently one of Utah's top attractions.
Future plans for Salt Lake include the Living Earth Aquarium (which is already running on a limited scale at the Gateway Mall) and the Leonardo, a multifaceted art, culture, and science center. The Leonardo will be housed in the old Salt Lake City main library building. At the east end of the city, the University of Utah is the location of the Utah Museum of Natural History and the Red Butte Garden and Arboretum at the mouth of Red Butte Canyon.
At the mouth of Emigration Canyon at the east end of town lies This Is The Place Heritage Park, a park that recreates typical 19th-century Mormon pioneer life. It is located at the point where Brigham Young stated, "This is the right place," when he looked out over the Salt Lake Valley in 1847. Just across from This Is The Place Heritage Park lies Hogle Zoo, which has recently bought empty land next to This Is The Place for future expansion.
Sports and recreation
Winter sports, such as skiing and snowboarding, are available in the Wasatch Mountains east of Salt Lake City. Eight ski resorts lie within 50 miles (80 km) of the city. Alta, Brighton, Solitude, and Snowbird are located just southeast of the city; Deer Valley, The Canyons, and Park City are located to the east; and Sundance is located to the southeast in Utah County. The ski resorts see frequent storms which deposit light, dry snow due to a phenomenon called the lake effect, where storms amplified by the warm waters of the Great Salt Lake precipitate in the Wasatch Mountains. Many ski resorts are promoted as having the "Greatest Snow on Earth." Alta and Deer Valley only allow skiing, while the others allow both skiing and snowboarding.
Most of the ski resorts also offer summer activities. The mountains around Salt Lake City are very popular for hiking, camping, rock climbing, and mountain biking, as well as other related outdoor activities. The reservoirs and rivers in the Wasatch Mountains are very popular for boating, fishing, and other water-related activities. Salt Lake City is the primary jumping-off point for exploring the national parks and monuments and rugged terrain of the southern half of the state.

Salt Lake City is home to the NBA team Utah Jazz and the Salt Lake Bees minor league baseball team, a Los Angeles Angels Triple A affiliate. Real Salt Lake, a new Major League Soccer franchise, began play in 2005 and currently plays at Rice-Eccles Stadium at the University of Utah. The team has recently approved a soccer-specific stadium to be constructed in Sandy. The Utah Grizzlies, an ice hockey team which is the minor league affiliate of the Phoenix Coyotes, play in neighboring West Valley City.
Salt Lake City had also received an expansion team from the revived American Basketball Association, known as the Utah Snowbears, in the 2005 season. However, the team folded after going 25–1 in the regular season and being well on their way to a championship. Salt Lake City will receive an Arena Football League team, the Utah Blaze, in 2006. The Utah Starzz of the WNBA were once located within the city, but moved to San Antonio and became the Silver Stars.
Transportation

Salt Lake City has four major freeways. Interstate 15 runs north-south; Interstate 80 runs east-west; Utah State Route 201 (the 2100 South freeway) runs east-west along the border with West Valley City; and Interstate 215, a beltway, which traverses the city's northwest and west neighborhoods and encircles the city's southern suburbs. SR-201, I-15, and I-80 bisect one another at a "spaghetti bowl" interchange just south of the city in South Salt Lake. An additional freeway called the Mountain View Corridor, which is part of the Legacy Highway system, is proposed along the west side of the Wasatch Front, with construction set to begin as early as 2008 and completion after 2015. Utah State Route 154 (Bangerter Highway) is an expressway that provides access to the rapidly growing western and southern cities of the Salt Lake Valley. It begins at Salt Lake City International Airport and connects to I-15 in Draper at the far south end of the valley. U.S. Highway 89 enters from Davis County parallel to I-15 before heading southeast into downtown. In downtown U.S. 89 becomes part of State Street, the main surface street through the center of the valley. It merges with I-15 near the Sandy/Draper border near the south end of the valley.

Salt Lake City's mass transit service is operated by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) and includes light rail and bus routes. The light rail system is known as TRAX and consists of two lines originating downtown. Both lines begin at the Delta Center near the western edge downtown and head east to Temple Square. From there they turn south through downtown. Near the courthouse, just south of downtown, the University Line heads east to the University of Utah, while the Sandy Line heads south. The Sandy Line serves the suburbs of South Salt Lake, Murray, Midvale, and Sandy and has a total of 17 stations. The University Line heads east to the University of Utah, passing by Rice-Eccles Stadium, the Huntsman Center, Fort Douglas, and ending at the University Medical Center, and contains a total of seven stations. TRAX began service on December 4, 1999, and the University Line opened in 2001. A third line, branching off the existing Sandy line to reach West Jordan and South Jordan, was approved in July 2005 and should be completed by 2009. Plans to extend TRAX service to several other suburbs and the airport is currently under development. A commuter rail line running north from Salt Lake City into Davis and Weber counties began construction in August 2005 and is expected to be completed in the spring of 2008. In addition a vintage trolley system is being planned for the Sugar House neighborhood.
UTA also operates extensive bus service that extends throughout the Wasatch Front from Brigham City in the north to Santaquin in the south and as far west as Grantsville. They also operate routes to the ski resorts in Big and Little Cottonwood canyons during the ski season (typically November to April).
Salt Lake City International Airport, located 7 miles (11 km) west of downtown, is a hub of Delta Air Lines and has recently expanded service. Greyhound Bus Lines and Amtrak passenger trains provide intercity transportation connections. Ute Cab, City Cab, and Yellow Cab are the major taxi services.
Sister cities
Salt Lake City has several sister cities, including: Chernivtsi (Ukraine), Keelung City (Taiwan), Matsumoto (Japan), Oruro (Bolivia), Quezon City (Philippines), and Thurles (Ireland).

Housing
The buildings on an Amish farm are white. They have a windmill which is used for powering the water supply. Amish farmers grow or raise most of what the family eats. Crops are harvested by horse drawn equipment, as gas powered tractors are not used. The Amish wife will tend a family garden to grow fruits and vegetables and will can foods for the winter months. Because of the high cost and shrinking availability of land, some Amish have gone into trade or taken jobs in factories in town.
Education
Amish students attend a one-room schoolhouse until they are in eighth grade. The teacher is an unmarried Amish woman. The children are taught English at school. Among each other, the Amish speak Pennsylvania Dutch, which is similar to German and church sermons are given in German.
Clothing
Amish clotigni s deffernt from the majority of people. They can use bright colors for things like towels and blankets, or red on their barns but no bright colors are to be used on their clothing. They wear teal, green, navy, burgundy, brown, and black.
They have no buttons except for on small girls' dresses. They are not used for decoration though. Instead they us hook and eye closures, safety pins, and straight pins.
Women will wear capes and clothing with no collars or lapels. A lapel is part of clothing, like a coat or jacket, that is an extension of the collar. They all wear black shoes. There is no jewelry worn for decoration.
The men and boys also don't have lapels or collars. Although on their coats, jackets, and shirts they will have narrow standing collars with a hook and eye. Their undergarments and trousers have button closures. The boys that aren't toilet trained well wear a dress. Their pants and jackets are denim.
