I really thought that we would have enough time to look around Salt Lake City, but it was a long drive from Montana to Idaho to Salt Lake City following a 3-day road trip to Yellowstone National Park. It was twilight by the time we reached SLC and since we don't know anything about the city and only heard of Temple Square, that's where we headed. Unfortunately, it was getting really dark and cold there is really nothing much to see so we only took a few photos and walked straight to the Downtown Center Mall; but not interested in shopping or browsing, we went looking for some food. The mall has a good-sized food court and decided that we'd get take-away so we can rest for the early flight the next day and that was what we did. A real pity that we did not get to see more of the city. With the driving we did around town, I noticed the city is very clean and beautiful.

Hello, lovely tour of Salt Lake. I like the flowers and the sculpture. I have only been to the Salt Lake Airport and the rental car company on our way to Yellowstone and the Tetons. Great post and photos. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day. Have a great weekend ahead!
Thank you for the nice reminders of our sabbatical year ['79-'80] in SLC. What makes the city particularly attractive is the Wasatch Mountains surrounding it.
It does look like a great city to explore. I've been there multiple times on business, but never had the opportunity to just look around and sight see.
I remember how clean it was...we toured the part of the Tabernacle that is open to the public and looked around their awesome genealogical library (that was years ago, before you could access it on line). Also, there is an island in the lake nearby where there are bison.
These are lovely photos. I love the flowers against the cloudy sky. The last photo of the dancers is truly delightful!

ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful shot.
ReplyDeleteYou got some good shots in the short time that you were there. I have some young Latter Day Saint relatives who used to work for the church downtown.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots, love the blue skies, green grass against the concrete buildings

ReplyDeleteA lovely, little look
ReplyDeleteDuring a business meeting in SLC I was lucky to have a break which allowed me to attend a rehearsal of the Tabernacle Choir. So memorable!
ReplyDeleteA quick look at the city. It does look very interesting and maybe if you're there again, you'll have more time to explore.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
I made that trip some 25 years ago bot did not see anything of Salt Lake City. Just passing through. :(
