JUNE 28: SALT LAKE CITY UT TO JACKSON HOLE WY

Miles: 297

Today we took the scenic route from Salt Lake City to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Jackson is at the south entrance to the Grand Teton National Park. We took a detour north of SLC to see the Great Salt Lake. The lake was underwhelming. We drove through Logan, UT and stopped for lunch and to see Utah State University. We continued through the northern Utah, southeastern Idaho and southwestern Wyoming. We crossed the Utah-Idaho line at Bear Lake. Just after we crossed the Idaho-Wyoming state line, we were personally welcomed by the Wyoming State Patrol. Unfortunately we left SLC a little later than planned so we had to cut out the planned visit of the Snake River Bridge and Fall Creek Falls in Idaho. We drove through the Targhee National Forest on our way to Jackson. We checked-in and enjoyed the town in the evening. We had dinner at the Snake River Brewing Company and shopped while walking around town. We really like the town, more than most ski towns we have visited.
