Salt Lake City ranked among top travel cities

The Wasatch Front has long been considered a hidden gem for travelers to the West, but a recent travel magazine article indicated that Utah's secret is apparently getting out. The December issue of Travel and Leisure magazine showed Salt Lake City ranked among the "top 5" in 12 categories, including No. 1 in "cleanliness," "safety" and "winter/Christmas" getaway. The state capital ranked No.2 in the "affordable getaway," "affordable hotels" and "family vacation" categories. Visitors also ranked Salt Lake No. 2 for its bevy of tasty hamburgers under the local specialties category. Deseret News
