From the time of the earliest Spanish explorers, followed by the mountain men in the fur trading expeditions and emigrants on their way to California, the colourful history of the Salt Lake region is both exciting and diverse. Mormon leader Brigham Young and his followers established Salt Lake City in 1847 and claimed it as their Zion.
