Day 4: Salt Lake City, UT

After leaving Pine Bluffs, WY, we were able to make it to Cheyenne, WY while driving through 50 mph winds and zero visibility due to blowing snow. Once we arrived, we realized I-80 from Cheyenne to Laramie was still closed so we went on a little adventure. Ironically, my dad picked up his Hawaiian shirt for my cousins Bar Mitzvah while in the middle of the blizzard. We then decided to get back on the road to see if the interstate was open right as they were opening the gates. After visiting Flaming Gorge, we drove through Park City, UT to get to Salt Lake City. It is one of the most impressive landscapes I have ever seen. Sorry, I was driving down one of the most windy roads ever so I didn't take any pictures. This may be my new future homestead if Colorado doesn't work out! We then continued on into Salt Lake City where we went on a 30 minute tour of the Mormon Tabernacle.
Our next stop was the Great Salt Lake but by the time we made it there it was dark. Our plan was to wake up the next morning to go explore, but instead had to head straight up through Idaho into Oregon due to heavy rain/sleet/snow.

Note: Don't waste your time visiting Flaming Gorge, WY, what you see in the picture is it.

Total Trip Time: 525 miles, 9.5 hours
