I was in Utah in the mid '70's.
My college buddy had moved to the Salt Lake City area somewhere near the Riverton/Bluffdale area. There was amountain at the end of his street so it is doubtful that development has spread beyond there.
We went to a ski resort (although it was summer) that was nearby. We also took his father's boat out on a reservoir to the east of Salt Lake City. I had my first taste of Coors beer there since in those days it was not sold in the East. I thought that it had a watery taste and I still do.
We took I-80 across the Salt Flats to a casino just over the Nevada line (Stateline Casino) which had horrible steaks and was very primitive compared to fledgling Atlantic City casinos. Everyone who worked there seemed to be grumpy.
Of course, we toured Salt Lake City and the Great Salt Lake.
I returned to Utah in 2008 as part of a trip to Washington and Oregon. I went to the Great Salt Lake. there was lots of trafiic congestion as the area has grown since I was ther in the '70's. i ate at a burger and ice cream joint called "Artic Circle". I left heading towards Wyoming.
I will drove through the area in 2009 on my way to California along I-80. I slept at the beginning of the Salt Flats to the west of Salt Lake City. (see photo above)
