Salt Lake City Trip

Salt Lake City Trip:
February 5 to 19, 2012
Royal City Travel is pleased to handle travel arrangements for the 19th annual Family Tree tour to Salt Lake City, Utah, and the largest genealogy library in the world. The trip is coordinated by genealogical lecturer and teacher, Jane MacNamara, a long time member of the Ontario Genealogical Society and a frequent visitor to Salt Lake City.
For family historians, there is no place like the Family History Library—an unimaginable collection of original records on microfilm from all over the world, free access to subscription databases and an extensive collection of genealogies, local histories and research handbooks. All this and the LDS databases at your fingertips, with helpful staff and topnotch equipment. For more details about this wonderful library, visit http://www.familysearch.org.
In 2012, you’ll also have the option of adding the ROOTSTECH family history and technology conference to the beginning of your trip. The ROOTSTECH package includes accommodation from February 1 to 4. You can take advantage of a special $99 conference registration fee--or just use the extra days for research.
But Salt Lake City also has some of the most spectacular desert and mountain scenery in the U.S.A. Your hotel is just a short walk from the magnificent Salt Lake Temple, the Mormon Tabernacle, major concert halls and shopping. TRAX, the city's electric transit system (free in the downtown area) will take you to more shopping and points of interest. A short drive or bus ride will take you to the Great Salt Lake, state parks, many historic sites and Olympic-class ski resorts.
Salt Lake City embraces winter. Temperatures are quite mild, and snowfalls in the city are cleared from sidewalks and roads quickly. There will be lots of snow in the mountains that surround the city, but with luck, we may just see the first snowdrops and crocuses emerge in the beautiful gardens of Temple Square.
ACCOMMODATION:
Located just 2 1/2 blocks from the Family History Library, Temple Square, and the Salt Palace Convention Centre, the Carlton Hotel, built in the 1920s, is a friendly, 45-room hotel with cable TV and a refrigerator in each unique room. A full cooked-to-order breakfast (or continental if you prefer) is included. Our prices are based in either single or double rooms (as you specify). In addition, a variety of economical suites with cooking facilities are available for groups of three or more people--please inquire. Regular van transportation to and from the Family History Library is provided free of charge.
