Understand
Sandy is the fourth largest city in Utah, with a population of approximately 97,000 (2018). It is a bedroom community of Salt Lake City. It lies in the south-central portion of Salt Lake Valley, a large valley located between the Oquirrh Mountains to the west and the Wasatch Mountains to the east, where the Great Basin and Rocky Mountain regions meet. The city is largely residential, but commercial areas lie in the west part of the city and along major roads through the city, including South Town Mall and the Jordan Commons shopping center.
The same roads run past Wasatch Range, where they are ranked and described in full.
