Impressions of Utah

I don’t really know what I was expecting. Salt Lake City was quite lovely; clean, with wide streets and friendly people. After days spent indoors at the Outdoor Retailer show, I finally ventured outside. By taking the tram to the University, I was able to gain some altitude with ease. A short hike from the end of the tram took me to a great view of the city and a first look at the famous Salt Lake. I was surprised to see how far it was from the city; for some reason, I expected the city to be right on the lake.

As the sun set, I wandered the hills, captivated by the view of the flat plains with the lake surrounded by snowcapped mountains. I wish I had more time to explore. Next time!
