We stopped by the Salt Lake Temple at Temple Square, which is massive and beautiful. There are no public tours inside the temple, but we did take a quick walk around the outside. It really is a stunning building to see right in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City.
Afterwards, we headed to the Great Salt Lake which is also the largest salt water lake in the western hemisphere! And it was big! We only drove to a part of it, but it was cool to stop by and see such a famous lake!
Overall, we had a great time in U-taw! We did so much and were able to see a part of the country that neither of us had ever seen!
While we have you, here are a few fun facts about Utah:
-Utah is known as the Beehive State.
-If you live in Utah, you are known as a Utahan or Utahn. (We prefer the latter.)
-There are many dinosaur bones found in Utah. One of them is called a Utahraptor!
-The state bird is the California Sea Gull...
And last, but not least:
-The "state cooking pot" is the dutch oven, which we find very funny on multiple levels!
