Salt Lake City area

We spent three days in the Salt Lake City area, based from a campground in Provo. The first day we boarded a bus that took us to Pioneer Park where there are memorials to the Mormon pioneers who crossed the country to settle here.

From there, we saw the State Capitol building and strolled Temple Square which is the site of the Tabernacle and other impressive LDS buildings.

Ended up in a restaurant in this house, which was owned by Brigham

Young. Later, we went to an organ recital in the Tabernacle.

The second day was spent driving several canyons in the Wasatch Mountains. We saw both Alta and Sundance ski areas, used for the winter Olympics held in the area. Came upon a little town holding a Swiss Day fair and strolled through the craft and food vendors tents.

The last day we attended the TV taping of "Music and the Spoken Word"
with the Tabernacle Choir. Their sound in person is awesome, better than their recordings.

In the afternoon we drove to Antelope Island State Park, in the middle of the Great Salt Lake. Peg's picture with the bison was prophetic, as we saw several herds as well as elk and antelope.
