Pit Stop- Salt Lake City, UT

On our way from Jackson WY to Zion Nat'l Park in UT we stopped in Salt Lake City for a couple of nights.  While we were there we hooked up with Charlie & Janet who had just flown in and were headed north to the Glacier NP area.   We stayed at the KOA Salt Lake City which was better than expected for the surrounding area.  Full hookups, cable and wifi (that didn't work) in the $40s.  They had a pool, etc. but way too many people under 3 feet for us!  We hooked up with C&J and hit Antelope Island.    We did see some pronghorns:

It was an overcast day but the scenery was still pretty nice:

We did see a herd of buffalo and tons of birds including this group of pelicans flying in formation:

We also caught this coyote on the hunt:

Later that day we hit downtown Salt Lake to check out Temple Square.  What a beautiful area the whole square was with flowers everywhere:

We were given a private tour of the Temple Conference Center (across the street from Temple Square) where we went to the roof top.  If you're in town, this is a place to visit!  The details of how much stone, weight and water is on this roof makes you think twice about walking around on it.  But the view from the top was incredible!  Here you can see the historic temple in the square:

Mitt fans around here!

Walking through the square itself there were several meeting halls which were beautiful inside and out:

We were able to watch while this incredibly huge organ was played:

Those are organ pipes in the background

We had a nice visit with C&J who are now off to Grand Teton and Glacier Nat'l Parks.  We're checking out Zion Nat'l Park with our niece Kelly.  More to come . . .
