We left Antelope Island Friday morning and drove a whole 95 miles through Ogden, Salt Lake City and Provo to this state park in the mountains along the Deer Creek Reservoir. Its not the best campground but its location is good.
We are just a few miles from Robert Redford’s Sundance Ski Resort so yesterday afternoon we drove over there to explore it and have a cocktail before dinner back at the RV. While enjoying the mountain view and a warm fire in the fire pit, we overheard the couple next to us mention they were in an RV and headed toward the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. I opened the conversation by mentioning that we also were in an RV and loved the Tetons. Things progressed from there. We had more cocktails, joined them at their table and exchanged stories of our RV travels and our world travels. Tim and Kristi were delightful people and we enjoyed our time with them immensely. They will eventually end up in St. Pete Beach where they have a cottage not too far from my brother. Maybe we’ll meet them again!
Today, after a very lazy morning, John planned a driving tour for us. We drove up to Deer Valley and Park City Ski areas where we shopped and lunched. We then took the Big Cottonwood Canyon Road up over Guardsman Pass stopping to take pictures and a short hike. Driving down Big Cottonwood Canyon we passed the Brighton & Solitude ski areas and admired Storm Mountain. Then we went around the end of the mountain and back up the other side to Alta and Snowbird Ski Area’s which are in Little Cottonwood Canyon. We would have stopped but all the parking areas were totally full of people attending the October Fest at Snowbird. Back down and a bit further south we drove back up the Alpine Loop through canyons and mountains, over winding switchbacks and steep grades on a very narrow road and back to Sundance. This time we didn’t stop as it was after 7 pm and we were hungry!
