27/09/12: Heading South–Salt Lake City

Last night in West Yellowstone brought a thunderstorm, and this morning quite a bit of fog as we worked our way out of Yellowstone southwards to the Grand Tetons. In a nutshell, the Tetons are amazing. We were left wondering how much our homes would sell for and how long we would be able to stay…

Lunch arrived with Jackson Hole, a little tourist town a bit more upmarket than what we've seen previously but with planked sidewalks and swinging saloon doors. Still a very nice place, where we found some new sights and a sensational deli…

Too soon we were back on the road. The trip took us from Montana into Wyoming, Idaho, Wyoming (again) and finally into Utah. Northern Utah is fairly flat and sparse, but as we got closer the Salt Lake City the countryside became more rugged and green.

We arrived with enough time to change to have dinner at the Rooftop Garden followed by a short visit to listen to the Mormon Choir practice in the Tabernacle – all within Temple Square. Needless to say the dinner, view and choir was pretty good.

So far on the trip we've been heading north and west and today was the beginning of our run south and west, where the tour (but not our trip) will end in Los Angeles. Tomorrow we are heading for Cedar City via Bryce Canyon and a couple of other stops. The weather is beginning to warm up finally, so we are now unpacking our summer clothes.

  1. Great photos....you'll be spending months when you get back home again sorting them all out! Top stuff.

    You sure are covering a lot of territory...with much to come. I hope you're not minding my hitching a ride on your suitcases! Take care.

  2. We will lots of photos to sort through...so far we've taken at least 2,500. It's gonna take a while.

    The miles are racking up very quickly, but sadly the end is coming into sight. Glad you're enjoying the blog - we did it for Europe as well, and it is also kind of a travel diary for the future.
