Salt Lake City Is IN the Rockies, Not By It

A view from the parking lot of my local ward in Salt Lake City.

Our backyard view is like a national park. We are visited frequently by deer. I've seen moose. There's a herd of elk that call the mountain home. And there's even a cougar that comes down once in a great while.

From the front of my house one can see the vast expanse of Salt Lake valley, a basin set between two mountain ranges -- the Wasatch and the Oquirh.

Ain't life in the Rockies grand?

As can be seen, Salt Lake is no Denver. It lies right smack dab in the Rockies - ski country. We do not have to travel on a highway for an hour and a half to ski. And, it has the conveniences of a large city -- 1.1 million large. Posted by Picasa
