Questioning Salt Lake City as the site of NRPA's 2009 Congress & Exposition? You need only know one thing: the Jordan River Parkway Trail.
Why do I bring this up? Because eventually, when finished, this trail will roll 50 miles between Utah Lake in Provo to the Great Salt Lake just outside downtown Salt Lake.
In case you missed that, this trail will connect two cities, not just ramble through a residential subdivision on the fringe of town. That's a serious commitment to recreation and alternative transportation.
