Road Trip To Sundance




As you can see, yesterday we took a road trip up to Sundance Ski Resort outside of Orem. The pictures are of the narrow, winding road up to the ski resort and Bridal Veil Falls, aptly named. The falls were along 189, the road through Provo Canyon. We noticed a beautiful, paved bike path along there as well that we may check out today. It was a beautiful, 45 mile drive up in to the mountains. The beauty and access to the mountains never ceases to amaze me. We're liking SLC more and more everyday.

We also stopped by a few neighborhoods to check out some houses. The thought of being 20 to 30 minutes from Alta, Solitude, Brighton, PArk City and Sundance is just amazing. Not just for winter sports; Most of the resorts run lifts in the summer to hike and bike down from the mountain. A chair lift ride to the top beats a 3,000 foot climb anyday ;)

Later that evening we had Joe, Shannon and Karen over to show them our coach. If you recall our previous post, we met them at a BBQ the previous weekend. They are considering one day taking a year off to travel and wanted to see how we live. They were amazed by the variety of rigs in our campground, from small trailers all the way up to class A. We talked a little about budgets, planning, rigs and destinations. I think we gave them enough to think about. We offered to trade our coach for house with them when we come back to SLC next year. :-) Later we met up with Rich, Karen's husband, at the Red Iguana for dinner(he came right from work, downtown) . The Red Iguana is famous for it's mexican food, and rightly so. I had the best chili rellenos I've ever had. The drinks were good and reasonably priced as well. I definately recommend you try the Red Iguana if you're ever in SLC!
