4 ай бұрынRelax and take a ride through Salt Lake City on a Saturday morning. The drive stays near or in downtown mostly but ends near the University of Utah.
A big thanks to all the viewers and especially the subscribers.
Filmed late February 2024.
'Salt Lake City, often shortened to Salt Lake or SLC, is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Utah. It is the seat of Salt Lake County, the most populous county in the state. The city is the core of the Salt Lake City metropolitan area, which had a population of 1,257,936 at the 2020 census. Salt Lake City is further situated within a larger metropolis known as the Salt Lake City-Ogden-Provo Combined Statistical Area, a corridor of contiguous urban and suburban development stretched along a 120-mile (190 km) segment of the Wasatch Front, comprising a population of 2,746,164 (as of 2021 estimates), making it the 22nd largest in the nation. With a population of 200,133 in 2020, it is the 117th most populous city in the United States. It is also the central core of the larger of only two major urban areas located within the Great Basin (the other being Reno, Nevada).
Salt Lake City has developed a strong tourist industry based primarily on skiing, outdoor recreation, and religious tourism. It hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics and is a candidate city for the 2030 Winter Olympics. It is known for its politically liberal culture, which stands in contrast with most of the rest of the state's highly conservative leanings. It is home to a significant LGBT community and hosts the annual Utah Pride Festival. It is the industrial banking center of the United States. Salt Lake City and the surrounding area are also the location of several institutions of higher education including the state's flagship research school, the University of Utah.
Sustained drought in Utah has recently strained Salt Lake City's water security, caused the Great Salt Lake level to drop to record low levels, and has impacted the local and state economy. The receding lake has exposed arsenic which may become airborne, exposing area residents to poisonous dust. The city is also under threat of major earthquake damage amplified by two offshoots of the nearby Wasatch Fault that join underneath the downtown area.'

Nice to see Salt Lake without insane amounts of smog that obscure the mountains. That's a rare sight.

Lived in Salt Lake valley my entire life. Haven't been downtown in years. I hardly recognize this and I have never been there and seen the parking in the center of the streets. Really narrows the wide roads Salt Lake used to have. Guess it has been longer than I realize. Probably 90's early 2000's when I used to go party at a few bars downtown. Jazz games I took shuttles. Down a few times during the Olympics. I am guessing this video was done early on a Sunday morning, guarantee any other time those streets are jammed and congested.

You are so lucky to live in Salt Lake Valley, it's so beautiful there. I imagine you have seen a lot of changes going on. Yep, this was filmed early Saturday.

At time : 02:44, the car ahead crossing the road disappeared slowly. Is this the effect of your video editing ?
