snow in summer salt lake city

Why Salt Lake Is Not What It Seems

People might say that Salt Lake City is a beautiful, incredible, place. I do not exactly agree with them. I went during fencing nationals a week ago. Salt Lake City itself has nothing to do with fencing nationals. The actual trip composed of much going wrong, but we ended up getting plenty of free things, and I had fun.
