Day tripping to Park City

Today we decided to take a drive up to Park City, Utah, home of skiing, snowboarding, and various olympic sports. As you can see in the pictures, we were driving up and into the mountains on the way out. Park City is about 30 miles east and a little south of Salt Lake City. I think we got up to about 6500-7000'. Silly me was WAY underdressed for the temperature change. When we left SLC it was 68. When we got to Park City it was a "balmy" 48! Since I was wearing a t-shirt and shorts, we didn't do much walking around town. Such a midwesterner thing to do!

As soon as we got into town, we came upon the olympic park, home of the ski jumping, bobsled, skelton, & luge runs.



After we got back, we cleaned up and went for dinner at Karen & Rich's house, who also graciously let us do some laundry. It was a grill dinner of salmon, peppers, and yams. I've never had yams on the grill before, always just steamed them for Snuggles. They were excellent! Tomorrow Karen & I are going to ride the Pipeline trail in Mill Creek Canyon, while the Riches are going to do a road ride.
