We decided to take the slightly longer and more scenic route to Salt Lake City. Mary Ann really wanted to drive through Idaho Falls and Pacatello, Idaho. It was a beautiful drive up and over the mountains, through the Idaho farmland, and on to Salt Lake City.
We were surprised how the Salt Lake area stretches on for a very long way going through pretty much continuous towns. Brigham City, Ogden, Layton, Farmington, and then finally Salt Lake City.
