Hill Aerospace Museum




We used this museum as an excuse to visit Ogden, the last city in Utah we had yet to visit. There are only four cities in Utah. They had three different full size atomic bomb replicas.

Park City Resort



I skied solo at Park City and took it easy after the beating I took at Alta. If Alta is Ceder Point then Park City is Disney World, seldom thrilling yet always pleasing. There were more families, more foreign nationals, and more gimmicks. It had its own ice skating rink and zip line.

Deseret Books


The Mormons have their own book store and it is as creepy as it sounds.

Banksy in PC


Banksy is an anonymous world renowned British graffiti artist who specializes in political art. Park City protected graffiti that attacked the nature of the town just for the prestige.

Scenic Park City


Park City is like the a more expensive short north on a hill. The latest Traveler's Insurance commercial, featuring dogs, was shot in Park City.

Alta




Alta is in the Little Cottonwood Canyon and typically get the most snow of any resort. Ryan and I skied 'til we hurt. The chute in the first picture is Baldy's chute. The final two pictures are views within Alta.

Bonneville salt flats




The salt flats seem endless. The surface was very flat, very hard, and very grippy. I slammed on the brakes and didn't tear up the salt, only left tire rubber on the salt. The rental car is governed at 103 MPH by the way.
