We have been dreading Salt Lake City, Utah. We were told stories of horrendous traffic, extreme heat and religious zealots who would constantly try to convert us, but the old Wee Rover needs a bit of TLC and Great Basin Rovers is along our route south, so to Salt Lake City we go.
We checked into our hotel and immediately walked the 6 blocks up town to the Temple Square, home of the Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. What we found was a beautiful busy city of tree lined streets, gorgeous architecture and really nice people. Our short stay has been a pleasant surprise.
The Temple of the Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints built by the original settlers of Salt Lake City. Original assembly Hall of the Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints. We found the members of the Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints to be kind welcoming people who answered our questions, but did not try to sway us towards their beliefs. Beautifully preserved architecture from an era gone by.The old carefully preserved and still in use today. I bet the inside was gorgeous. The city center is a combination of old and new, commercial and nature, hectic and serene. We enjoyed our wanderings.
