Salt Lake Ciity Utah is only 2.5 hours from Pocatello Idaho so I thought I would do a quick day drive south before I make my way north to Vancouver.
Utah is known for their Mormon (also known as Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints) population.
Temple Square is aptly named for the location of their grand Temple and gardens.
Down the road, The Lion House was built in 1856 for the second president of the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints, for his large family.
The Salt Lake City 2002 Olympic Cauldron is located next to the Utah University Stadium.
The main reason to visit Salt Lake City was to see the Salt Lake. I was given incorrect information and ended up at Antelope Island and this was an unexpected surprise. There is much to see on this island including a marina, bison, hundreds of bird species but I found the salt lake beautiful. This is not the salt lake that holds car races or the setting for the movie “Radio Flyer” which I thought I was visiting. That salt lake I will attempt to see at the end of my trip.
The white parts in the photos are not waves or sand but salt. The blue and white contrast was magnificent.
