Denver to Salt Lake City

Today (Friday, May 10th) we drove from Denver to Salt Lake City. The remaining drive through Colorado was very pretty, with the mountains always to the left of us. Our drive through Wyoming was also nice, with rolling hills and billowy clouds in the bright blue sky. As we approached Utah, the mountains came back into view. The first mountain pass we drove through, the pines were covered in snow. 

I mentioned it felt like Christmas, so we turned on some MWS Christmastime, the only Christmas music we had access to from my phone. The winter scenery only lasted for about 20 minutes, but it was beautiful.

When we neared Salt Lake City, the sky was blue and temps had risen quite a bit. We were driving through one of the ravines, pulled off at a rest stop where we saw hundreds of ground squirrels. It seems they were used to humans and would run right up to you to see if you had food, before turning around and running into their little holes in the ground.

We arrived in SLC in the evening around 8. We checked into our hotel, picked up some fruit from a nearby grocery store and ate at our hotel. I didn't have a chance to update the blog, not just because it was late, but our hotel only allowed free wifi for one device at a time. We also needed time to make some Seattle arrangements, such as schedule movers, order our apartment wifi, and check on our uhaul shipping container.
