Title: Wade's Utah Trip - otherwise known as the place I'd love to live
Post by: WadeJ on June 05, 2009, 06:34:33 PM

I've been in Utah just south of Salt Lake City on business all week.  Unfortunately, due to various issues getting here on Sunday, I missed out on a trip to Lagoon.  And of course, I'm sitting here at 4:30 on Friday with nothing to do (my flight doesn't leave until 7AM tomorrow) and Lagoon isn't open on Friday's yet :(.  Can't win.  Anyway, I figured I'd share a few photos I took with my phone.  I can't get over how awesome it is here.  The beauty of the land is just amazing. 

I'll break the photos up into multiple replies so I can note where they are from.

The first photo is taken from my hotel window in Provo.  The second photo is taken from my car at a traffic light in downtown Provo which is right down the road from BYU.  The third is taken from the parking lot of one of our corporate headquarters.

Next up is the definite highlight of my trip.  A visit to Sundance.  Just unreal.  We then took a trail that is about wide enough for one car through the rest of the mountain all the way up to where the snow was.  So we went from about 5,000ft. above sea level to around 9,000ft. 

These are all taken from around Sundance:

And finally, one of the more odd parts of the trip was joining a few guys for a trip to Cabella's.  Which, if you never heard of, is easily the largest outdoors store in existence.  This place was just huge.  They had an aquarium (which the photos didn't come out good in) and a room showing off different type of game.

Here is the display room.  I couldn't take photos but the gun vault was just insane.

WOW the photos are great Wade . It is always nicer where you want to live then the place you actually live ... I LOVE Myrtle Beach. Our friends have a house in a nice small area just outside of the main tourist area . Amazing how pretty it is there .

Looks like a real awesome place Wade, I had no idea you were even going there. Lagoon looks like an awesome park and it stinks you missed it. What are the odds of you ever living out there?

Amazing how close you can get to the wild life in Utah  ;).
I've always wanted to visit Moab.
