We are just halfway thru the trip. It has been two 12-hour days that flew by in wonder and awe.
The start from SLC with the visit to the Mormon temple and its history. Then the Capitol and drive towards the salt lake where we swam in the waters... exhilarating and not that cold. Then to the Lava hot water spring and our first night at the Mariott Springhill Suites hotel near Jackson Hole. End of Day 1 .. A nice and languid end of the day at the heated pool.
Early morning flag off at 730 am. Rax is the most amazing guide. We started with Jackson Hole, where the Rich and famous live ... lovely cafes and expensive shopping!!
Then into the Yellowstone National Park, which takes your breath away.
Amazing stories of the Native Indian tribes and the Cowboys. You can feel the story of how the wild west was won.
