We took a week off from work before summer ends to visit the West side of the US. We decided on Salt Lake city and Yellowstone National Park. It was a vacation that we will never forget. Though the sun and heat was unbearably scorching even for me born and bred in tropical Singapore, the scenery and experience was unlike anything we had ever come across. Its someplace we would love to go back to again....

distance -Salt Lake City - Yellowstone National Park : 358 miles

Salt Lake City is the capital and the most populous city of the U.S. state of Utah. The name of the city is often shortened to Salt Lake, or its initials, S.L.C. It was originally known as Great Salt Lake City. Spectacularly set at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains at an elevation of 4330 ft, it is the headquarters of the Mormon Church and was the host of the 2002 Winter Olympics. The Great Salt Lake and the impressive architecture and culture of the Mormon Temple are the 2 most famous attractions.
