'''Salt Lake City''' To differentiate yourself from a tourist, refer to Salt Lake City as "Salt Lake" (sans without "City") Salt Lake City is the capital and the largest city in [[Utah]]. The city itself boasts a meager population at 186,440 but has 1.1 million in the metropolitan area which is part of the larger Wasatch Front, home to 2.2 million. It lies on the Wasatch Mountain Range, at the edge of the Rockies. Salt Lake City, "Crossroads of the West", has always been a transient city and remains transient in modern times.
Home to the world's largest population of Latter Day Saints (Mormon), Salt Lake City can be conservative at times so when hitching in, out, or just through, be aware of your appearance if you want to open yourself up to rides from a broader population.
