Salt Lake City is the state capital and the biggest city in the valley, with just under 200,000 people. Pioneers laid out its street grid from Temple Square in 1847, which is why addresses read like coordinates: 900 South, 900 East. Most of what to do sits in a handful of neighborhoods. Downtown has the arena, the concert halls and the Gallivan Center. Sugar House has the big park and the shops. The Avenues and 9th and 9th are the walkable ones, and the University of Utah and the foothills sit up on the east bench.
