Today was a travel day after a great 2 night stay at Cameron and a full day at the Grand Canyon. Had another excellent breakfast at the Cameron Hotel and on our way to Utah under sunny skies at about 9 AM. The scenery was pretty much typical Arizona desert with scrub growth on the red sand and always, high red mesas not too far away. Eventually, we started to climb for quite a distance, winding up in the Kaibab National Forest. At the 6700 ft. summit, we were presented with a wide vista of the desert we had left behind us. Even after the wonders of the Grand Canyon, this was a marvelous view.
We crossed the state line into Utah right at noon. Still sunny and quite warm, about 90°. The Interstate wasn’t too far away and that took us right into Salt Lake City at 7 PM where we found an EconoLodge not far from the Temple Square. They also operate a free shuttle to the square every hour during the day. After checking in, we found a nice, and very busy Mexican restaurant called the Red Iguana. The meal was delicious.
Off to bed. There should be lots to see tomorrow.
