 alt Lake City, the capital of Utah, occupies an 
 important central position in the territory. It is 
 situated at the eastern base of the Wasatch moun- 
 tains near a point that projects into Salt Lake valley. 
 On the north and east, its extremities are bounded by 
 the mountains themselves, which are only a mile or two 
 distant. A portion of the city' is even built on the 
 mountain "bench" or plateau which is, in reality, one 
 of the many water lines that indicate what was once 
 the shores of an inland sea. Salt Lake City is laid 
 out, principally, in square blocks of ten acres each, 
 the streets running at right angles due to the cardinal 
 points. Each street is 132 feet wide including the 
 sidewalks, which are twenty feet in width. Nearly all 
 of them are planted on either side with shade trees; 
 and under each long line of foliage a cool and spark- 
 ling brook, fresh from mountain glades, ripples with 
 merry sound. Nearly every residence has its little 
 orchard and flower garden and the area of the city 
 is, therefore, large in proportion to the number of 
 its inhabitants. It covers a space of about nine square 
 miles. The aspect of the city and surroundings, viewed 
 from the bench-lands to the northward, is simply 
 charming. Half hidden among a luxuriance of foliage 
 of every shade of green, the houses seem like pleasant 
 cottages and villas in an immense garden, and the 
 glittering streams in every street mark with silver lines 
 the length of the broad avenues, while at odd in-

 tervals a church spire or the tower of some fine resi- 
 dence is seen amid the trees. The Wasatch moun- 
 tains, with their magnificent front, rise abruptly two 
 or three miles distant to the East, their summits, 
 1 1 ,000 feet above the sea, and at least 7,000 feet above 
 the city, dotted with snow that never melts. Thrifty 
 farms spread to the feet of these overshadowing 
 peaks whose sheer and rocky walls are rifted here and 
 there by rugged passes which, before the days of 
 the iron horse, were the only approaches to the city 
 from the Ease. Wonderful are the pictures of this 
 magnificent range! It changes with every season: 
 in the winter, white from snow that chokes its 
 chasms with an icy drift and powders its topmost 
 pines with hoary frost; in the spring, making the 
 landscape joyous with its dingles of lively green ; in 
 summer, capped with lazy lines of smoke from 
 forest fires; and in autumn bursting into glory with 
 a gay dress of brilliant red and purple heather. 
 Every hour in the day, the mists and banks of cloud 
 vary the setting to this glorious picture and render 
 it a constant source of delight to the intellectual visitor. 
 To the westward, the Oquirrh mountains are but little 
 inferior in proportions, and the two ranges meet twenty 
 miles to the south, shutting in the handsome and 
 fertile valley of the river Jordan. The constantly 
 changing atmospheric effects among these mountains 
 have been thus touched by the graceful pen of Fitzhugh 
 Ludlow: "Nothing on the palette of Nature is lovelier, 
 more incapable of rendition by mere words, than the 
 rose-pink hue of these mountains, unmodified by any 
 such filterings of the reflected light through lenses of 
 forest verdure as tones down and cools to a neutral 
 tint the color of all our Eastern mountains. The 
 Oquirrh has hues which in full daylight are as posi- 
 
TO SALT LAKE CITY. 
 
 tively ruby, coral, garnet and carneiian, as the stones 
 which go by those names themselves. No amount of 
 positive color which an artist may put into his brush 
 can ever do justice to the reality of these mountauis." 
 The streets of Salt Lake Cit>^ are named in accord- 
 ance with their relation to the Temple Block. Thus, 
 the proper name for IVIain Street is East Temple 
 Street, for it boimds the eastern side of that Block; 
 the next street east is First East Street; and so on. To 
 the west, north and south the streets are named hi the 
 same manner. Exceptions to this rule are found in the 
 irregular streets that thread among the foot hills 
 nortli of the city and in the narrower streets of the 
 20th Ward. Th^ population is about 22.000. 
 
 Salt Lake City has a competent Fire Department 
 and extensive Water Works, which latter have pipes 
 laid along the principal streets, supplying an abun- 
 dance of the purest water and affording good protection 
 against fire. The city is lighted with gas by the Salt 
 Lake Gas Co., whose works are near the radroad 
 depot. 
 
 The lines of the Street Railroad centre at Empor- 
 ium Corner, i^^ blocks north of the Walker House. 
 The cars running to the First Ward, or south eastern 
 portion of the city; to the railroad depot ; to the Warm 
 Spring baths; to the Twentieth Ward, or north-eastern 
 portion of the city; and to the Eleventh Ward, or 
 eastern portion of the city; all leave Emporium Cor- 
 ner at the hour and half past. 
 
 PLACES OF INTEREST. 
 
 Under the above title, will be included public and 
 other notable buildings and places in the city and 
 vicinity that may prove of interest to tourists and 
 traveling strangers. Interest centers in the build- 
 
TOURISTS GUIDE BOOK 
 
 ings contained in the Temple Block, a square contain- 
 ing ten acres which was set apart in the original set- 
 tlement of the city for the erection of churches and 
 other buildings connected with the practice of Mor- 
 monism. 
 
 THE TEMPLE. 
 
 This edifice ranks first in interest among the public 
 buildings, and will ultimately be one of the most re- 
 markable structures in America. It is situated on the 
 Temple Block, facing eastward, and is two and a half 
 blocks north of the Walker House. The length of 
 the building, east and west, is 200 feet, and its width 
 100 feet. The foundations, which are of a reddish 
 quartzite of great hardness and durability, are laid six- 
 teen feet below the surface of the earth and are also 
 sixteen feet in thickness. An examination of their 
 structure from the interior will be found interesting. 
 They are so built in what is termed the "reversed 
 arch" method that the weight of the upper walls is 
 equally distributed throughout; and any subterranean 
 movement short of an actual earthquake would not ef- 
 fect the solidity of the building. The walls resting on 
 these foundations are 9 feet 9 inches thick, of a light 
 grey granite, brought by rail from Little Cottonwood 
 Canyon, eighteen miles south-east of the city, in the 
 Wasatch Mountains. The corner stone of this struc- 
 ture was laid April 6th 1853, and the building has now 
 reached a height of 60 feet above the foundation, or 
 ^6 feet in all from the corner stones. At their pres- 
 ent summits the walls are 6 feet 6 inches thick, but 
 will be reduced to 5 feet when they have attained 
 their ultimate height of 100 feet. The Temple is of 
 unique but elegant design. Three towers v/ill stand 
 at each end of the building, the centre ones, east and

 west, rising higher than the others and to an altitude 
 of 200 feet. Each contains a circular stairway, which 
 winds around a column 4 feet in diameter. The build- 
 ing will be ornamented with allegorical designs, the 
 main courses being those of the sun, moon and earth. 
 Its general exterior appearance, when finished, can be 
 seen from illustrations on view in the office of Elder 
 C. J. Thomas at the entrance gates ; and any interest- 
 ing particulars, fuller than this sketch affords, will 
 readily be imparted by that gentleman. The temple 
 has already cost in construction more than $3,000,000 
 and will probably require a total outlay of from ten to 
 twelve million dollars to complete it. It is not de- 
 signed, as many suppose, for public worship, but for 
 the performance of certain ceremonies, such as bap- 
 tisms, marriages, ordinations, confirmations, etc., now 
 conducted in another and temporary place termed the 
 Endowment House, which is situated on the north- 
 west corner of the Temple Block. The architect un- 
 der v/hose supervision this enormous work is going 
 on is Elder Truman O. Angell, one of the Pioneers, 
 and an artist who has long been identified with the 
 people among whom he labors. 
 
 THE TABERNACLE. 
 
 In the general view of Salt Lake City, this enor- 
 mous buildinor lies, a huo;e and rounded structure, the 
 first and most noticeable piece of architecture that 
 catches the eye. It is erected in the Temple Block, 
 being directly to the westward of the Temple. In 
 dimensions it is 233 by 133 feet, inside measurement, 
 and it consists simply of one great roof, which rest 
 upon forty-six pillars of red sandstone, and springs 
 with a single stride from side to side and end to end. 
 It thus forms what is, probably, the largest hall in the 
 
8 tourists' guide book 
 
 world whose roof is unsupported by columns. In 
 form the building is elliptical and the inside height 
 from' ceiling to floor is 70 feet. The roof consists of 
 ponderous lattice-work, ten feet through, heavily 
 bolted together, and is a great triumph of engineering 
 skill Inside, the west end is occupied b\- a rostrum 
 or stand with triple rows of seats rising one above the 
 other. The highest of these was intended originally 
 for President Brigham Young and his two councilors; 
 that immediately in front for the twelve apostles; and 
 the lower one for bishops or elders. In front of these is 
 the communion table whence sacrament is issued to 
 the congregation every Sabbath afternoon. To the 
 rear of all and immediately under the Grand Organ 
 are seats for the choir which frequently numbers 1 00 
 sinc^ers and is one of the finest in the countr}-. 
 
 traversing the entire hall, with the exception of 
 the west eiid, is a spacious gallery sufficiently large 
 to seat S750 people. The entire seating capacity ot 
 the building, including the stand and platforms, is 13.- 
 Aco and at the general semi-annual conference it is 
 frequently filled in every part. Including standing 
 room, the building will accommodate 15,000. 1 here 
 are twentv doors to the tabernacle, nearly all of them 
 nine feet wide, all opening outwards, and the immense 
 concrregation can be let out in one and a haU minutes. 
 The ^acoustics are astonishingly perfect, the most 
 minute sound multiplying and permeating the entire hall. 
 The builder of this extraordinary edifice was hlder 
 Henry Grow, an old-time resident of this cit}-. 
 
 Behind the seats of the authorities is the Grand 
 Orcran It is the third largest instrument in the Un- 
 ited States and was, when constructed, the largest that 
 had been built in America. ^Vith the exception of the 
 metal pipes, which were imported, it was constructed 
 
TO SALT LAKE CITY. 
 
 by Utah artificers from material obtained in this terri- 
 tory. It is very complete and has a volume and tone 
 to which the immense proportions of the edifice give 
 full scope. 
 
 The organ has three manuals, great and swell, 
 heavily filled. The pipes number nearly three thou- 
 sand, the largest being 32 feet long and 2 feet square 
 on the inside. The entire structure is fifty-eight feet 
 to the top of the great towers, thirty feet deep and 
 thirty feet wide. Four men are required to work the 
 blowers. The organ was constructed under the di- 
 rection of Elder Joseph H. Ridges and represents his 
 second attempt at organ building. 
 
 SALT LAKE ASSEMBLY HALL. 
 
 This beautiful edifice is located in the south-west 
 corner of the Temple Block and was erected under 
 the direction of Elder Obed Taylor, architect and 
 builder. It is constructed from chips of granite, the 
 fragments from the dressing of the rock that forms the 
 Temple. The walls have been pointed and now 
 counterfeit cut stone very successfully. The outside 
 measurement of the building is 120 by 68 feet, the 
 height of the square being 33 feet. The roof is or- 
 namented by twenty graceful minarets, each 24 feet 
 high, while the central spire rises to a total altitude of 
 126 feet. The interior consists of a spacious assembh' 
 room, the lofty ceiling being 40 feet above the floo 
 and a broad gallery circling the hall. It will seat be- 
 tween three and four thousand persons and is designed 
 for winter and evening meetings when the large tab- 
 ernacle is too cold or dark for purposes of assembly. 
 For this purpose it is comfortable heated and lighted. 
 The internal finishings are quite elaborate, the seats 
 and wainscotting being neatly grained and the walls 
 
10 TOURISTS GUIDE BOOK 
 
 calcimined in tints. The ceiling is embellished with 
 various historical and biblical subjects in fresco ; and 
 at the western end is a fine organ constructed by 
 Elders Johnson and Olson. The Salt Lake Assembly 
 Hall cost over $130,000, and presents the finest ap- 
 pearance of any building yet completed in this city. 
 
 THEATRE. 
 
 This structure is on the corner of First South and 
 First East streets and is a handsome rock and adobe 
 building with granite finish. It is something after the 
 Doric style of architecture, having fluted columns 
 and massive cornices. It is 175 feet in length with a 
 width of 80 feet and inside is nearly 40 feet from floor 
 to ceiling. The stage is 62 feet deep by 32 feet at the 
 proscenium and is fully equipped with scenery, traps 
 and properties. The theatre has a parquette, dress 
 circle, three upper circles and four private boxes, two 
 on each side of the proscenium, and has a total seating 
 capacity of 1500. The interior is tastefully decorated 
 and presents, when lighted up, a fine appearance. The 
 arrangement and appointments in dressing rooms, 
 atalier, stage machinists' department, property and 
 orchestra rooms, etc., are equal to those of any other 
 theatre on the continent. The annals of the Salt Lake 
 Theatre would be an interesting account and would 
 treat of many famous artists who have made, alas, 
 their final appearance on this sublunary stage. Artem- 
 us Ward, Julia Dean Hayne, Edwin Adams, Ben De- 
 Bar, Lucille Western, Nielson and others have all 
 passed away : but there is a greater galaxy of stars 
 that have appeared here and that may still be counted 
 among living actors and actresses. Among these are 
 the names of Eytinge, McCollough. Jefferson, Barrett, 
 Sothern, Florence, Raymond and hundreds of others.

 CITY HALL. 
 
 This building, erected at a cost of ;^7o,0OO, is on a 
 corner of First East and First South streets. It con- 
 tains the Mayor's, Recorder's, Treasurer's, Assessor 
 and Collector's and Watermaster's officers, a Court 
 Room where the Alderman's and Justice's courts are 
 held ; the chambers of the City Council and that in 
 which the Territorial Legislature meets. The 
 building is 60 feet square, two stories in height, sur- 
 mounted with a clock tower. It is constructed of cut 
 red sandstone. 
 
 In the rear of the City Hall is the city prison. This 
 also is built of cut sandstone, the blocks having an 
 inch and a half bail laid between each two to prevent 
 criminals from cutting through the cement. It is very 
 stoutly arranged and with its brick addition cost about 
 $40,000. 
 
 CHURCHES. 
 
 The only denomination that met in public worship 
 here for many years was that of the 
 
 CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER- 
 DAY SAINTS. 
 
 Their place of general meeting in summer is the 
 Tabernacle, and in winter the Assembly Hall, both of 
 which are on the Temple Block, 2)^ blocks north of 
 the Walker House. On Sabbath mornings, Sunday 
 schools are held in the various bishop's wards. Ser- 
 vices are held every Sabbath afternoon beginning at 
 2 o'clock. Meetings are also held in each of the 21 
 bishop's wards of the city, on Sabbath evenings, be- 
 ginning usually at 7 o'clock. John Taylor presides 
 over the entire church. Strangers are always wel- 
 comed at general meetings.

 NOTABLE BUILDINGS & PLACES. 
 
 Among points of interest to be found in the city, 
 strangers naturally inquire for 
 
 THE CHURCH OFFICES. 
 
 These are to be found 2^2 blocks north and nearly a 
 block east of the Walker House. They consist of two 
 builduigs one story high, and are between the famous 
 ' Lion" and " Bee-Hive" houses, which have always 
 been and are now occupied by a portion of the family 
 of the late Brigham Young. In these church offices 
 are kept the immense tomes and ledgers necessary for a 
 systematic carrying on of the business matters of the 
 Mormon church. The tithing accounts and those of the 
 Perpetual Emigration and other Funds are preserved m 
 the office on the east. That on the west is the pri- 
 vate office of President Taylor, whose usual office hours 
 are from eleven to one and three to five o'clock daily. 
 During that interval, if not engaged on matters of 
 greater importance, the President will receive visitors. 
 
 BRIGHAM YOUNG'S GRAVE. 
 
 From the church offices, turn northward — passing 
 through " Eagle Gate" — and continue about 7^ of a 
 block ; then turn to the east, ascending the hill — on 
 the brow of which will be found, enclosed by a heavy 
 stone wall, the burial ground of the Young family. 
 The remains of President Young rest under a huge 
 granite slab in the extreme south-east corner of the 
 inner enclosure. An ornamental iron railing sur- 
 mounts the slab, which was arranged according to the 
 funeral directions of the deceased. The inner enclos- 
 ure is laid out neatly in lawns and gravel walks. 
 Brigham Young died Aug 29, 1877.

 MUSEUM. 
 
 Visitors will find this interesting institution nearly 
 opposite the south gates of the Temple Block. It 
 contains a remarkable collection of curiosities from all 
 parts of the world, rare coins, Oriental fabrics and od- 
 dities, deep sea specimicns, ancient documents, etc. 
 But it is of peculiar interest to the tourist for the epi- 
 tome that it embodies of the ores, minerals, gems, 
 fauna, birds, reptiles and insects native to Utah. Every- 
 thing has been arranged by a careful and trained hand, 
 so as to present at a glance an elementary knowledge 
 of the wonderfully varied resources of this territory. 
 The archaeologist will find abundant material for cogita- 
 tion in the huge bones of mastodons and in other pre- 
 historic remains that have been collected from our 
 borders, together with the Indian relics, — instruments 
 both of war and peace, which are in great variety. 
 The curator of the museum is Prof J. L. Barfoot, 
 whose intimate knowledge of the materials under his 
 care and, indeed, of everything that pertains to Utah, is 
 of much benefit to the enquiring stranger. 
 
 MASONIC LIBRARY. 
 
 These rooms will be found one block north of the 
 Walker House and across the street. In the summer 
 of 1877 it was opened for the use of the general public. 
 The collection is in the Masonic Hall and is open 
 daily from lO o'clock a. m. to I p. m. and from 4 p. m. 
 to 9 p. m. During the year of 1879 it issued 9.7CO 
 books. It now contains 3.332 volumes of a general 
 character and 564 volumes of a Masonic character. It 
 is supported by the Masonic bodies of Salt Lake City 
 and the annual subscribers. Christopher Diehl, Grand 
 Librarian.

 TERRITORIAL LIBRARY. 
 
 In the office of the Territorial Auditor, one door 
 east of the Deseret National bank. It contains 4000 
 volumes which, though not modern, are well selected 
 and of interest to the antiquary. Open every day ex- 
 cept Sunday. 
 
 WARM SPRINGS. 
 
 About a mile and a half distant, on the northern out- 
 skirts of the city, at the base of Ensign Peak, are the 
 Warm Spring Baths, a sanitary institution which the 
 healthfulness of our citizens happily prevents us from 
 appreciating. The sulphur water flows freely at a 
 temperature of 102 Fahrenheit, and is charged with 
 medicinal qualities which render it invaluable as a cor- 
 rective of many ailments. An analysis of these waters 
 by a competent chemist has yielded the following : 
 
 Three fluid ounces of water, on evaporation to en- 
 tire dryness in a platina capsule, gave 8.25 grains of 
 solid, dry saline matter. 
 Carbonate of lime and magnesia . . .0.240 1.280 
 
 Peroxide of iron 0.040 208 
 
 Lime 0-545 2.907 
 
 Chlorine 3454 18.412 
 
 Soda 2.877 15-344 
 
 Magnesia 0.370 2.073 
 
 Sulphuric acid 0.703 3-748 
 
 Total 8.229 43-981 
 
 It is slightly charged with hydrosulphuric acid and 
 with carbonic acid gas, and is a pleasant, saline mineral 
 water, having all the valuable properties belonging to 
 saline sulphur springs. The benefit that is to be de- 
 rived from an internal as well as external application 
 
i6 tourists' guide book 
 
 of these waters is great, for it is estimated that no 
 other springs in the world are charged with so per- 
 fect a proportion of the salts and gases that are neces- 
 sary for the restoration of health. It is probable 
 that the future will find their yield in general request 
 and that their vicinity will one day be made the re- 
 sort of invalids. About two miles further to the 
 north, still stronger springs of the same nature called 
 the Hot Springs, flow from the base of a great rock 
 at a temperature that is variously given at from 1 80 to 
 190 Fahrenheit. 
 
 Street cars leave for the Warm Spring Baths every 
 half hour, starting from the crossings i i/^ blocks north 
 of the Walker House. The baths are kept by Mr. 
 Jas. L. Townsend, an old citizen whose name is famil- 
 iar to every tourist who has "been this way before."

 FINE RESIDENCES, ETC 
 
 Our city can boast some elegant residences whose 
 design and finish would do credit to larger towns. 
 Notably is a splendid home erected by the late 
 Brigham Young, known as the Gardo house. It is 
 one block east from the south-east corner of the Tem- 
 ple Block. It cost over ;^8o,ooo and is of most beau- 
 tiful proportions. That of Mayor Little, east of the 
 City Hall, is also of great beauty and challenges ad- 
 miration as a pattern of modern architecture. The 
 four houses of the Walker Brothers are 2 blocks south 
 of the hotel which bears their name and, although ele- 
 gant in themselves, gain additional attractiveness from 
 the tasty and well-wooded grounds that surround 
 them. The fine house of Hon. William Jennings 
 is on South Temple Street near the railroad depot, 
 and that of Mr. Medhurst is on the same street five 
 blocks east of Main. Numberless ocher charming 
 homes, too numerous to mention, will be found on 
 every street the tourist or stranger may choose to

 AMUSEMENTS. 
 
 Salt Lake Theatre. — ^This splendid temple of 
 the drama is i ^ blocks north and one block east of 
 the Walker House. A description of the building 
 will be found on page 9. During the theatrical sea-

 can find almost as good sport as in the field. The new 
 ''Creedmore" gallery opposite the Post Office is also 
 a good one.

 SUBURBAN ATTRACTIONS. 
 
 WHERE TO DRIVE. 
 
 I. — It is a most pleasant drive to start from Main 
 Street through to the north-eastern portion of the city 
 and after passing along the elevated streets of the 
 north bench, to descend again to South Temple Street 
 at a point near the eastern limits of the city. Con- 
 tinue thence due east, ascending to the eastern bench, 
 and a short drive of little more than a mile brings you 
 to 
 
 Fort Dougias — This delightful fort is the princi- 
 pal military post in Utah. During the last few years 
 it has been entirely rebuilt, and the old log barracks 
 and weatherboard quarters have been replaced by stout 
 and comfortable buildings of a pink sandstone that 
 forms the bluffs overlooking the camp. The officer's 
 residences have been arranged in a handsome crescent 
 at the head of the level parade ground, and afford a 
 splendid view of the neighboring city and the whole 
 broad and magnificent valley. The post is under the 
 command of Colonel John E. Smith, an officer of the 
 Fourteenth Infantry, a large proportion of his regi- 
 ment being stationed here. Driving through the fort 
 and past the military cemetery, the traveler will enjoy 
 the pleasant hill and dale country beyond ; especially 
 as he will speedily be brought up short at 
 
 Wag-ener's Brewery — This fine property pos- 
 sesses interest aside from the sparkling beverage 
 which we will admit to be its chief attraction. It is 
 one of the largest breweries in the west, is orderly and 
 clean and produces beer of excellent quality. Being 
 about 4 miles from the city, it offers a good turning 
 point in a pleasant drive The road home can be 
 varied ad mfinitum, or can be made to take in 
 
TO SALT LAKE CITY. 23 
 
 Fuller's Hill — Take either the nth Ward or ist 
 
 Ward cars, starting from Emporium corner every ^ 
 hour — ask the driver to put you off for Fuller's Hill — 
 all kinds of out-door games, swings, croquets, etc. in- 
 cluding a Camera Obscura. The prettiest view of 
 Salt Lake City can be had from Fuller's Hill and the 
 gardens are well worth visiting. They can te reached 
 by an easy carriage drive. 
 
 2. — Another drive is to take the State Road for two 
 and one half miles southward to Harris' old Club 
 House ; turn the next corner for the east, and next 
 corner for the south, driving as far as Winder's farm : 
 then turn again to the east and the traveller will soon 
 reach 
 
 Cakler's Farm.— This pleasant resort is between 
 four and five miles from the city. It is cool, verdant 
 and delightful. There is a large lake with boats, 
 swings, groves, etc. Admission 25 cents. 
 
 The traveler can vary his return home by coming 
 through the fields, avoiding the State Road and leav- 
 ing; it to his west. 
 
 3. — Still another drive is to go due north from the 
 Walker House over the hill to the Warm Sulphur 
 Baths, described on page 15. 
 
 On the way, a charming view of the city and sur- 
 rounding country is obtained from a commanding 
 point of view. The drive may be continued, over a 
 moderately interesting road, along the base of the 
 Wasatch mountains, past the Hot Spring lake to the 
 Hot Springs themselves, which, although more pic- 
 turesque, differ in no wise from those at the baths ex- 
 cept by their increased heat. They are 3^ miles 
 north of the city. 
 
24 TOURISTS GUIDE BOOK 
 
 WHERE TO WALK OR RIDE. 
 
 It is. of course, very evident tliat a horseman or a 
 pedestrian, — if he be a good walker, — can go to any 
 of the places above mentioned. There are however, 
 other interesting routes accessible to him. that the 
 driver cannot well reach. 
 
 I. — After going a block north of the Temple, on 
 Main Street, strike for the hill on the right and pursue 
 the wagon road that winds along the edge of City 
 Creek can\-on, to the top of Ensign Peak. This is a 
 rounded knoll, easily accessible, whose summit is 1200 
 feet above the city. From this elevated position, a 
 most magnificent range is visible. On a clear da}', 
 Mount Nebo, the highest peak of the Wasatch, 90 
 miles due south, can be seen. The view extends to 
 almost an equal distance to the north ; westward, it 
 takes in nearly all of the Great Salt Lake, with its 
 islands, and aftbrds a glimpse of the Great American 
 Desert. The summit of Ensign Peak is not more than 
 two miles north of the city and it is of peculiar histor- 
 ical interest. It is said that years before the Pioneers 
 first saw this valley, it had been seen in a vision by the 
 Prophet, Joseph Smith, who saw the " Standard of 
 Zion" unfurled on this same luisign Peak. Hence its 
 name. 
 
 2. — A more difficult and extended mountain climb 
 is to the summit of the Black Mountain, whose top 
 can be seen, covered with pines, north-east of the city. 
 It appears rather a hazardous attempt on horseback 
 but the writer and many others have climbed these 
 steeps in that manner more than once and have been 
 ampl}- repaid by the extraordinar\- magnificence of the 
 view. To attempt it, gain the ridge of Cit}' Creek 
 Canvon on the hills above the 20th Ward Ik^nch and 
 
TO SALT LAKE CITY. 2$ 
 
 a natural and easy trail almost to the summit. A little 
 climb, as the top is neared, and a lovely view of en- 
 ormous range bursts on the adventurer's astonished 
 gaze. We shall not attempt to describe it. It takes 
 in scores of miles in every direction and gives at once a 
 comprehensive panorama of the region. The summit is 
 about 3500 feet above and 5 miles north-east of the city. 
 3. — Those who prefer a walk or ride that involves 
 less climbing, will find a charming road up the canyon 
 of City Creek, north of the city. Entering Eagle 
 Gate, the road gains beauty at every step until it cul- 
 minates at a point about 8 miles north of the city. The 
 road is good for horsemen and is traveled constantly 
 by wagons ; but is not suitable for pleasure driving, 
 being somewhat rough. 
 
 WHERE TO MAKE A TRIP. 
 
 1 — Bi^ Cottonwood Canyon. — A most pleas- 
 ing summer trip, which can be made in from three 
 days to a week, is an excursion on horseback to the 
 series of small lakes at the head of Big Cottonwood 
 Canyon, in the Wasatch Mountains. The direction 
 from the city is south-east and the round trip is one 
 of about fifty miles. At the canyon head, in summer, 
 Mr. Brighton has a hotel, affording good accommoda- 
 tion, on the margin of Trout Lake. The visitor can 
 here spend a few days very pleasantly, away from the 
 dust and heat of the city, among swarthy pines and 
 eternal snows. Short walks or rides of a few miles 
 can be made in several directions to advantage, the 
 most pleasing being that to Lakes Phoebe, Mary, 
 Martha, and Katrina which lie linked among the high- 
 est peaks. They are surrounded by scenes of sur- 
 passing beauty and grandeur that call forth the high- 
 est sentiments of admiration. 
 
26 tourists' GUIDE BOOK 
 
 2 — Little Cottonwood. — This canyon contains 
 also some fine natural scenery, but cannot boast of 
 such picturesque views as its more formidable neigh- 
 bor. Its summit is more easily reached, however, 
 being connected by rail from this city. From Alta, 
 the terminus of the road, a trail of six miles over the 
 divide, leads to Brighton's above mentioned. A good 
 trip for a party of horsemen is to go up one canyon 
 and down the other, making a trip of about seventy- 
 five miles, lasting four or five days, and taking in some 
 of the best scenery our mountains afford. 
 
 3 — Parley's Park. — A third mountain jaunt is 
 up Parley's Canyon, another pass whose entrance is 
 in the same direction as the others but only about 
 seven miles distant. It leads to Parley's Park, about 
 25 miles from here, on the eastern side of the range 
 seen from the city. A good wagon or buggy road 
 extends all the way, and the attraction in the Park is 
 good fishing and hunting, pleasant drives and good 
 fare at Kimball's Hotel. A daily stage connects this 
 resort with the city. 
 
 4 — American Fork Canyon. — Take the 7 a.m. 
 Utah Southern train to American Fork, a village 34 
 miles south of this pity, in Utah Valley. Fare ^1.80. 
 From this point will be obtained a splendid view of 
 Utah Lake, a beautiful sheet of fresh water 225 miles 
 square. At the town, put yourself under the guidance 
 of Robert Kepperneck, — proprietor of the "American 
 Fork House," — and from him hire horses, — or any 
 other conveyance, for the roads are first-class, — and 
 visit the famous American Fork Canyon which has 
 been justly termed the Yosemite of Utah. It is the 
 wildest and most picturesque defile in northern Utah, 
 and is one long series of natural wonders. "Towers, 
 battlements, shattered castles and the images of mighty 
 
TO SALT LAKE CITY. 2/ 
 
 sentinels," a writer says "exhibit their outhnes against 
 the sky. Rocks, twisted, gnarled and distorted ; here 
 a mass like the skeleton of some colossal tree which 
 lightning had wrenched and burnt to fixed cinder ; 
 there another, vast and overhanging, apparently crum- 
 bling and threatening to fall in ruin." The most 
 striking portion of the pass is included in the first 
 twelve miles from the town and expedition would en- 
 able the sight seer to return in time to take the home 
 train which leaves American Fork City at 4.34 p.m. 
 
 Other trips can be made in various directions, but 
 we have pointed out the more interesting of the moun- 
 tain scenery surrounding the city. 
 
 GREAT SALT LAKE. 
 
 Probably the most interesting feature of this entire 
 region, certainly the most famous, is the Great Salt 
 Lake itself, which is, at its nearest point, about nine 
 miles distant from the city, but, owing to the marshy 
 character of its shores it is not easily accessible at this 
 point. The easiest methods of communication are 
 either by the Utah Western Railway, or the Utah 
 Central, the former running westward to Lake Point, 
 Garfield and Black Rock, the latter northerly to Lake 
 Shore. Bathing in the Great Salt Lake is a most novel 
 and pleasing experience. It is impossible to sink, the 
 water is so dense and bouyant. The constant ten- 
 dency, however, is for the head to go under, while the 
 feet remain at the surface. But, with very little prac- 
 tice, men, women and children grow accustomed to its 
 peculiarities, and during* the warm summer months, 
 resort to it in great numbers daily, and find in its 
 waters a great source of exhilaration and refreshment. 
 The surroundings of the lake on its southern extremity 
 are picturesque ; but at other points the shores are a 
 
28 tourists' guide book 
 
 picture of utter desolation. No vegetation can survive 
 where its spray is dashed save a miserable little salt 
 wort and a melancholy species of artemisia, whose 
 straggling and thorny limbs appear black and burned 
 on the scorching sands. 
 
 Fisliiiig and Hunting.— The canyon stream 
 that surround the city are always, in season, well 
 stocked with trout, and are annually the resort of pro- 
 fessional and amateur anglers. It is useless to partic- 
 ularize, for City Creek, Parley's, Mill Creek, big and 
 Little Cottonwood, American Fork and Provo Canyons 
 all have their quota of the finny tribe. 
 
 Those nimrods who are contented with small game 
 will find their quarry on the plains over Jordan River, 
 in the fall of the year. Hares and jack rabbits are 
 there in abundance. In the oak brush around the 
 neighboring foot hills are prairie chickens; and higher 
 in the mountains are pine hens. Larger game, such 
 as deer, is rare, although in early winter they are fre- 
 quently seen in goodly numbers in the mountains. 
 Bears actually infest the mountains in the north-eastern 
 and some other portions of the territory.

 The predominating creed of the people ofSalt Lake City 
 and Utah is generally known to be the 
 
 Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. 
 
 And as tourists and travelers find in this fact a point 
 of great interest, we venture to give the salient articles 
 from the doctrines of that church and the nature of its or- 
 ganization. The church was organized, with six members, 
 April 6th, 1830, in Fayette, Seneca Co., N. Y., by Joseph 
 Smith, who published, as the doctrines believed and 
 adopted by the church, the following thirteen 
 
 Articles of Faith. 
 
 I. — We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His 
 Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. 
 
 2 — We believe that men will be punished for their own 
 sins, and not for Adam's transgression. 
 
 3 — We believe that through the atonement of Christ, 
 all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and 
 ordinances of the Gospel. 
 
 4. — We believe that these ordinances are : First, Faith 
 in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance ; third, 
 Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins ; fourth. 
 Laying on of hands for the Gift of the Holy Ghost. 
 
 5. — We believe that a man must be called of God, by 
 "prophecy, and by the laying on of hands," by those who 
 
32 TOURISTS GUIDE BOOK 
 
 are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in 
 the ordinances thereof. 
 
 6. — We believe in the same organization that existed in 
 the primitive church, viz : apostles, prophets, pastors, 
 teachers, evangelists, etc. 
 
 7. — We believe in the gift of tongues, prophec}^ revela- 
 tion, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, etc. 
 
 8. — We believe the Bible to be the word of God, as far 
 as it is translated correctly ; we also believe the Book of 
 Mormon to be the word of God. 
 
 9. — We believe all that God has revealed, all that He 
 does now reveal, and we believe that he will yet reveal 
 many great and important things pertaining to the King- 
 dom of God. 
 
 10. — We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in 
 the restoration of the Ten Tribes. That Zion will be built 
 upon this continent. That Christ will reign personally 
 upon the earth, and that the earth will be renewed and re- 
 ceive its paradisic glory. 
 
 II. — We claim the privilege of worshipping Almighty 
 God according to the dictates of our conscience, and al- 
 low all men the same privilege, let them worship how, 
 where or what they may. 
 
 12. — We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, 
 rulers and magistrates, in obeying, honoring and sustain- 
 ing the law. 
 
 13. — We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevo- 
 lent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men ; indeed we 
 may say that we follow the admonition of Paul. "We be- 
 lieve all things, we hope all things," we have endured 
 many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If 
 there is anything virtuous, lovely or of good report or 
 praiseworthy, we seek after these things. — Joseph Smith.
