back to USA map TRANSLATE 19. We continued our trip 400km to "Salt Lake City". The city is dominated by a religious group like no one else in the USA. The mormons, who are the half of the population, have their religious, cultural, economic and social centre, which operates as "Mormonean Vatikan". The greatest sights of the clear and tidy city is the temple, which is allowed to enter only by mormons and only by special occasions. The "Tabernacle" is an oval dome and a marvel of acoustics. The Tabernacle is the home of the famous "Mormon Tabernacle Choir" which is accompaned by a large organ with 11.000 whistles.
