What makes a good sunset in Salt Lake City?

Salt Lake City sits in a valley bowl with the Wasatch Range rising sharply to the east and the Oquirrh Mountains to the west — the sun drops behind the Oquirrhs and lights up the Wasatch peaks in alpenglow simultaneously. The Great Salt Lake to the northwest produces dramatic flat-water reflections on calm evenings. Antelope Island State Park puts you out in the lake itself with the Wasatch as backdrop. Winter temperature inversions can trap haze in the valley, so check the score before committing to a drive.
