The Trip 2003
Page 8
Days 13-15: Yellowstone National Park to Home via Grand Tetons, Minnetonka Caves Id., Salt Lake City, Lake Alpine Ca.
The
Grand Tetons is a beautiful National Park.
Then into Idaho
Driving in Idaho we took Hwy 89 to Bear Lake, were we stopped at the Minnetonka Cave
It was a long walk. We had planned on visiting some of the caves south of SLC, but after this....I don't think so.
There is a great burger stand as you turn on the road toward the caves.
On to Utah, We stayed the night in Salt Lake City.
The Great Salt Lake really stunk and the visitor center only let you out. There was no door to let you back in.
Bonneville Salt Flats
Then to Nevada, We got to Elko really early from SLC, since we didn't visit the caves. While we were in Elko we visited the Northeastern Nevada Museum and then we went to the movies.
This
is the last night. Next stop home
This is our road trip map, we covered 4800 miles 9 states and 2 Canadian provinces including Alaska. These road trips are becoming a great tradition. I never thought that driving 4800 miles in 2 weeks would be fun. Our 2004 trip will be even bigger. We are going to Ft. Worth to see my sister (and get more Big Red Soda) , then to Baton Rouge to Pensacola Fl, up to Bowling Green over to Springfield Mo. via St. Louis (too bad Blues Go SHARKS!) then onto home over the Hoover Dam and through the back side of Mono Lake.
