In the morning, we will go to visit the Utah State Capitol of the neoclassical architectural style. This granite building is magnificent, exquisite and gorgeous, and it is a significant landmark of Utah. Then we will visit the Temple Square. Following, we will head to the Great Salt Lake, the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere. Then we will enjoy the hot water in the Crystal Hot Springs! We will stay overnight in Jackson.
The Utah State Capitol is the house of government for the U.S. state of Utah. The building houses the chambers and offices of the Utah State Legislature, the offices of the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, the State Auditor and their staffs. The capital is the main building of the Utah State Capitol Complex, which is located on Capitol Hill, overlooking downtown Salt Lake City. The Neoclassical revival, Corinthian style building was designed by architect Richard K.A. Kletting and built between 1912 and 1916. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
Temple Square
Temple Square is a 10-acre (4.0 ha) complex, owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), in the center of Salt Lake City. Contained within Temple Square are the Salt Lake Temple, Salt Lake Tabernacle, Salt Lake Assembly Hall, the Seagull Monument, and two visitors' centers. The square was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1964, recognizing the Mormon achievement in the settlement of Utah.
Great Salt Lake
Great Salt Lake, lake in northern Utah, U.S., the largest inland body of salt water in the Western Hemisphere and one of the most saline inland bodies of water in the world. The lake is fed by the Bear, Weber, and Jordan rivers and has no outlet. The lake has fluctuated greatly in size, depending on the rates of evaporation and the flow of the rivers that feed it. Like the Dead Sea, the Great Salt Lake exists within an arid environment and has chemical characteristics like that of the oceans. However, it has a much greater salinity than the oceans, since natural evaporation exceeds the supply of water from the rivers feeding the lake.
Crystal Hot Springs
Just 30 minutes west of Logan and 90 minutes away from Salt Lake City, Crystal Hot Springs is a favorite family getaway location because of the variety of activities they offer. An Olympic-size hot spring pool, a shallow soaking pool with a cave for the kids to explore, hot spring waterfalls for a delightful multi-temperature massage, 365-feet hydro tube water slides, and all of this packing more minerals than you can count – this is Crystal Hot Springs outside Honeyville, Utah.
