Salt Lake and

Salt Lake City, Utah

After Zion we drove to Salt Lake City, but first we had to get through Idaho. Birgit has decided that mexican food is edible (considering some of the alternatives) and we found some pretty good food in Pocatello.

We stopped in Idaho Falls (I admit I didn't actually know there were falls there until Birgit read it in the guide book - sorry about that!) So we stopped there for a little bit and took some pictures.

Another view of the falls

The Falls were interesting, but we had a goal: Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City:  

We walked around temple square - Birgit just had to  go inside the Tabernacle - I guess they don't see the  Quire on TV at Christmas in Germany! I preferred  looking at the restored log cabin. Walking around the  square also made me think of Barbara who spends  many happy hours in the research center.

But then - on the road again.....on to the Great Salt Lake

What can I say? It is a big lake and it is salty. We looked, dipped a toe in the brine and headed on to Yellowstone
