Salt Lake City Points of Interest

“What I like about Salt Lake City,” explained APH Operations Manager Marty Walton of Maine, “are the wide streets, clean sidewalks, and the ease of getting TRAX (which is free downtown), as well as the proximity of the hotel to Temple Square and the variety of restaurants nearby. I am also impressed with the culture of volunteering and, of course, the magnificent setting along the Wasatch Front!”
