The LDS Conference Center roof top garden in downtown Salt Lake City is a great place to catch a sunset. While they don't let you hang out on top, you can still time it just right if you plan ahead or ask to see the garden at the right time.
December 2011 has received minimal snow so far and the roof garden was open. The haze and smog aren't beautiful to look at or breath, but it does add a little bit more color to the sunset.
Just before I was about to leave the roof top garden I stopped and while looking at City Creek Center I said "wow there are no construction cranes". This is the first time in 5 years plus in which no cranes could be seen in the skyline above the City Creek Center. At one point I seem to remember counting more than 16 tall cranes working in the entire City Creek skyline at one time. I'm amazed and can't wait for it to open.
This is the fountain which splits into 4 different fountains representing the 4 corners of the earth. I really liked how it was icing up just a little bit, but still flowing.
Here is a sunset view of the Promontory on South Temple Tower.
As I understand it is done and now selling condominiums.

Here is a view of the Conference Center roof top tower looking west into the sunset. I really like how the sun was reflecting off the dakota granite and the stream of water.
