Salt Lake City's sightseeing extends beyond the Mormons and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Still, Salt Lake City attractions related to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, like Temple Square, the Beehive House and This is the Place Heritage Park, are impressive tourist draws.
The soaring Wasatch Mountains ensure ample outdoor sports opportunities within a half hour's drive of the city. Wasatch canyons offer world-class Utah skiing and snowboarding in winter. Salt Lake City in summer offers hiking, camping, picnicking, hang gliding, rock climbing and mountain biking. Because the valley is protected by the mountains, golfing often extends March-November.
