About Salt Lake
Salt Lake lies in a mountain valley with the Wasatch Mountains to the east and north. The Oquirrh (pronounced
"oaker") Mountains border the western edge of the valley. Once you become accustomed to which are which it is
very helpful in maintaining your sense of direction. The city is situated on land once covered by the prehistoric Lake
Bonneville. This ancient lake existed within portions of Utah, Nevada, and Idaho, with an elevation rising from 4,200
feet to 5,200 feet (1,280 meters to 1,585 meters) at some points. The eastern and northern portions of the city are
located on a series of terraces, or former beaches, which are known locally as "the benches." Salt Lake City has a local
population of 186,440.

Weather and Elevation
Summers are hot, frequently reaching above 100°F (38°C), while winters are cold and snowy. However, winters are
warmer than one would expect at this elevation and latitude, due to the Rocky Mountains to the east and north that
usually block powerful polar highs from affecting the state during the winter. Temperatures rarely fall below 0°F (18 °C), but frequently stay below freezing. Temperature inversions during winter can lead to thick overnight fog and
daytime haze in the valley as cool air, moisture, and pollutants are trapped in the valley by surrounding mountains.
Salt Lake's official elevation is 4,330 feet/1,320 meters above sea level. It is very dry and at a higher altitude than
many people are used to. If you are coming from a lower elevation you may notice a difference the first few weeks
of dancing. Make sure you drink plenty of water, and even more during class and rehearsals.
Understanding Salt Lake City’s Grid System
Utah's street naming and numbering system is based on a grid system with the Salt Lake Temple as the center of
town. This system makes for some unique addresses. Where else do you see an address such as 2150 East 13400
South? Although this can be very confusing and frustrating to someone who is unfamiliar with this system, it is
actually a very efficient way of doing things. Here is an explanation of our roads so you may better find your way.
Let's use Salt Lake City as an example. Temple Square is the "Center" of town,
and is bordered by North Temple to the North, South Temple to the South,
West Temple to the west and Main Street to the East. The intersection of
South Temple and Main is considered grid point 0,0.
From the center (grid point 0,0), the streets are incremented by 100, and are
named by the position relative to the center. The names of streets running
North/South and positioned to the east of Main Street are named 200 East,
300 East and so on. The same logic applies to the streets on the other 3 sides.
So, if you are looking for 300 South and 500 East, you know that the location
will be 3 blocks south and 5 blocks east of the center of town.
Confusion comes in to play because the streets that run North/South are called either an "East" street or a "West"
street. Remember, they are named after the positions relative to the center, and not the direction they run.
Also, residents tend to say "1st South" when they are referring to "100 South" and “5th East” when they are referring
to “500 East”. This gets interesting as you go "way south" and you need to refer to 100th South (Do you mean 100
South or 10000 South??) The way to tell here is the inclusion (or elimination) of the "th". 100th South is 10000 South.
100 South (note no "th") is 100 South or 1st South.
A few streets have names, notably Broadway, which would otherwise be 300 S, and State St, which would be 100 E.
Another exception is in the Avenue’s Neighborhood, where north-south streets are given letters of the alphabet, and
east-west streets are numbered.

UTA HIVE Pass
What is the program?
The program is a partnership between the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) and Salt Lake City and is similar to the current
Eco-Pass program offered by UTA to businesses and institutions like the University of Utah and Westminster College.
Under the City program, any Salt Lake City resident will be able to purchase a one-year transit pass, good on all UTA
modes including buses, TRAX, Frontrunner and the new S-Line in Sugar House. Purchase price is $350 for residents who
pay for the pass in full, or $30/month for 12 months for those who would like to spread out the cost.
How much do I save?
Even for those who make only intermittent use of transit, the cost savings are significant. Just six round trips in a month
cover the cost of the pass. For those who use transit regularly and are currently paying single fares or purchasing a
monthly UTA pass, savings add up to hundreds of dollars over the course of the year.
What should I bring to purchase my pass?
1. A valid driver’s license, state-issued ID card, passport (with photocopy of ID page) or other federally-issued IDs
including green cards.
2. Proof of Residency:
- A Lease or Rental Agreement, or
- County Tax Bill or Assessment, or
- 2 pieces of formal mail with your name and home address
Minors should be accompanied by a parent or guardian and have a driver’s license, school ID or other credible
form of identification.
3. Payment – credit card, check or money order. Cash will only be accepted at the City & County Building and
Public Utilities permanent locations.
I want to pay on a monthly basis. How does that work?
Starting your monthly payment agreement is easy. We’ll require a $30 deposit and your first month’s payment. After
that, you’ll receive a monthly bill in the mail, or if you sign up for an auto-deduction each month that will replace the
paper bill. The important part is that you keep your agreement and complete a year of payments.
Where can I buy a pass?
Hive Passes may be purchased at the following locations, which are open Monday - Friday:
Salt Lake City & County Building
451 South State Street
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Salt Lake Public Utilities Office
1530 S.W. Temple Street

Park City
Located approximately 40 minutes east of Salt Lake, Park City is a scenic mountain community with three world-class
resorts and a town filled with activities. Besides miles of hiking and biking trails, there is an Alpine Coaster at Park City
Resort, and the Utah Olympic Park has a summer bobsled ride which is over 3,000 feet and one of the longest in the
world. Historic Main Street is full of art galleries, shopping and restaurants. Tanger Outlet Mall is located just outside
of downtown. During the summer there are live outdoor concerts, live theatre, independent film screenings, and
gallery tours. The Park Silly Sunday Market features local and regional arts and crafts, live music, gourmet foods and
farmer’s market fruits and vegetables. Park City is also host to the Kimball Arts Festival, which is one of the top art
festivals in the country. 200 Artists are selected to participate in this annual juried show featuring work in 12
categories. The three day festival August 1-3, also offers live music and art focused film screenings. For more
information about Park City please visit www.visitparkcity.com
National Parks
Although most of your time will be spent in Salt Lake City dancing, if you ever get a chance Utah is home to five
National Parks! These include Zion, Bryce, Canyonlands, Captiol Reef and Arches. These are all a 4-8 hour drive from
Salt Lake. People fly from all over the world to see Utah’s deep canyons, sandstone arches, towering monoliths and
red hoodoos. Take advantage of it while you are here! Utah also has 43 State Parks, including Antelope Island, Bear
Lake, Goblin Valley and more. If you enjoy hiking or mountain biking there is plenty of that right in our own backyard,
City Creek has many trails within walking distance of downtown. Millcreek Canyon, Ferguson Canyon and Big and
Little Cottonwood have an endless amount of trails to explore and cliffs to climb in the summer. In the winter they
are great for cross country skiing and snowshoeing. The Uinta Mountains, which are located in Northeastern Utah,
are stunning and have many trails for hiking, fishing and backpacking. Salt Lake City is also within driving distance of
the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone National Park, and the Bonneville Salt Flats.
