The Silvercar Salt Lake City location is off-site of the Salt Lake City International Airport. The capital of Utah is bordered by the Great Salt Lake and the Wasatch Range. The Salt Lake valley has stunning landscapes and is convenient to the wilderness that tempts visitors with year-round activities. The canyon breezes moderate the hot summer afternoons and the snowy winter temps are warmer than other ski destinations.

Although known as the center of Mormon church, the city also hosted the Winter Olympics in 2002, which brought economic growth to the city. Formally known as the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints (LDS), the Mormon church is headquartered in Temple Square. The 10 acres in the heart of downtown features both the majestic Salt Lake Temple, built in the 19th century, as well as Assembly Hall. The renowned Mormon Tabernacle Choir performs in the domed Tabernacle. Visitors can tour Temple Square for free, but only active Mormons may enter the Holy Temple.

The easy pick-up process for your Audi rental car, with no lines and no paperwork, means you can get to one of the nearby slopes quickly. Ten different ski areas are within an hour’s drive, including Park City, Snowbird, and Brighton. Remember to reserve a free ski rack if you’re bringing your own equipment. And the free GPS means you can easily navigate, even if it’s your first trip to Utah.

Salt Lake City is also within a half-day’s drive of five different national parks. In less than four hours you can head southeast to Arches National Park. The spectacular vistas will have you looking over your shoulder for Wile E. Coyote. Bring your hiking shoes and some water so that you can enjoy a hike through the sandstone arches. There are trails ranging from easy to difficult to suit any traveler.
