SLC Skyline

Just 350 feet below Ensign Peak is Knoles Mound. It bears no historical significance but is a great place to see downtown SLC and is close to the park gateway.

The larger of the two streets, running due south from the capitol (under restoration), is State Street (a.k.a. US 89) and follows the entrire length of the valley. State Street (as all streets laied out by the settlers) is aligned precisely with magnetic north.

Other lanmarks seen here are the Salt Lake Temple (of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints), The City/County Building, and the LDS Church Office Building (the tallest building in Salt Lake City).
