PHX: 33°26'03"N 112°00'29"W

SLC: 40°47'18"N 111°58'40"W

Note difference in longitude of less than 2 minutes of arc (0.303 deg, 1.817' by quick calc). Note that difference is positive, so SLC is actually slightly East of PHX, but is for all intents and purposes directly North of PHX.

Great Circle route, PHX-SLC:

Great Circle route, PHX - North Pole:

Note the line crossing just next to the Great Salt Lake on its way to the pole.
