Salt Lake City lies in a spectacular setting at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains, with the Great Salt Lake visible to the northwest and the Great Salt Lake Desert to the west. Like many early American settlers, the Mormons traveled across the country in search of a place where they could practice their religion without persecution. Much of Salt Lake City's rich history and heritage stems from these early pioneers. Salt Lake is an urban center rich in vitality, contrasts and surprises. But what makes our community truly unique is its friendly, hospitable people.
Visitors always feel welcome and at home.
We invite you to experience the history, culture and warm hospitality we hope will make your visit to Salt Lake City and the 21st National Narrow Gauge Convention a memorable one. A station is located just 1 blocks east of the convention hotel and is in the free fare zone. The Utah Transit Authority offers bus service in the Salt Lake Valley from Provo north to Ogden. Shuttle service from Salt Lake International Airport will be provided for conventioneers by Xpress Shuttle at discounted rates. Horse drawn carriage rides, which begin at Temple Square, are a popular way to see the downtown area.
