City Information:

The Conference Hotel is just South of major downtown Salt Lake City. The street names are based on grid coordinates with the LDS Temple Square as the central reference point. Locals refer to the the street names as "First South -or- Third West, etc" which translates to "100 South, 300 West" (as all street signs and maps refer to them). Naturally, this can be confusing to the visitors of Zion. Just use the City Map below for reference - you'll get the hang of it in no time.

Inter-city Transportation:

TRAX: The city's above ground subway "Trax" runs right by the Conference Hotel with a station a block to the North (Courthouse Station). Trax is free from Courthouse Station to any destination North. Destinations South and East require a fare. Full-fare tickets can be purchased from vending machines at the stations. Trains stop at stations every 10-30 minutes between 5:30a.m. and 11:00p.m. on weekdays. See the downtown trax map for free route overview or the Utah Transit Authority website for schedule.

TAXI: There are three main taxi companies in Salt Lake City, and each offers 24-hour service: City Cab; Yellow Cab and Ute Cab. You can call for service or hail them in the street, but they are not as plentiful as other major cities.
