Part of the Salt Lake City metropolitan area, the city lies in the Salt Lake Valley along the banks of the Jordan River between the 10,000-foot Oquirrh Mountains and the 11,000-foot Wasatch Mountains. The city has 3.5 miles of the Jordan River Parkway that contains fishing ponds, trails, parks, and natural habitats.
