Best College Towns: Salt Lake City

The valley of the Great Salt Lake and the Wasatch mountains are a playground for summer- and winter-sports aficionados alike, with biking, skiing and camping among the most popular activities. Beyond the city, home to the University of Utah, the state contains five national parks — Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef and Zion — just beckoning you to explore the natural world. The Mormon church’s Family History Library in the heart of Salt Lake might be the world’s best destination for genealogy buffs, with a huge and ever-growing collection on five humidity-controlled floors.
