Self-guided tours that are adaptable to everyone's interests and pace, one can pick from among the many lavish mansions of mining and railroad millionaires along prestigious Brigham Street or the simple immigrant cottages in the Marmalade District; downtown parks or forgotten pioneer cemeteries; or one can take in the city's growing nightlife. Mark Angus takes readers beyond the regular tourist sites and provides answers to the paradoxes surrounding this rather enigmatic metropolis.
