Today was marked by minor disappointments. We left SLC and drove up thru Park City, past Jordanelle Reservoir into Kamas. Our intent was to take Rt 150 up and over the mountain passes and end up in Evanston, WY. We got about 15 miles in and found the road closed! Darn! Must be a seasonal thing, closed during winter.
So we had to back track through Kamas and go north to Wanship where we picked up I-80 all the way to Evanston. It was pretty ride; through Echo Canyon.
From Evanston we headed north on Rt 189 up to Fossil Butte National Monument. Sam claims we had been here before, many years ago, but I had no recollection. She has a magnet to prove it! Anyway, the visitor center is closed on Sundays! (What?) So it was a detour of little value.
Then heading west on Rt 30 to Garden Valley, on the western shore of beautiful Bear Lake (with its azure blue water even on a cloudy day). Then up and over Logan Pass (7000') and down into Logan to our Quality Inn. Dinner at Olive Garden.
