Thanks to Brigham Young, Salt Lake City was founded in 1847. The buildings in downtown are evidence that the city was at one time quite lucrative.
Where there is beautiful architecture there is usually a historic cemetery not too far off.
There was a large section of gravestones that confessed when the dead professed.
Mrs. Frisbee knew she was gliding her way into heaven in 1910.
This is really the reason we are here, to see this gravestone, of Lilly Gray, who was a victim of the beast.
We just couldn't figure this mystery out.
Simple is better.
Next we are headed to Snowbird to ride the gondola to the summit.
Although we got great parking in the 'Subaru only' parking area, our plans were thwarted due to high winds!
Oh well, it just meant that we were at Salt Lake Brewing Company/Squatter's Pub Brewery earlier than planned.
It is always interesting to learn about liquor laws in other states. In Utah, you can order a can of beer that has a high alcohol content, but if you order off the tap you won't get a beer higher than 4% alcohol by volume.
Squatter's is a brewery that we have tasted often from spending some time in Utah, but we have never been to the brewery so we have never had the yummy food!
We all are loving Salt Lake!
Happy New Year!
Subaru only parking???? I could totally park there now. What a cool spot. Sorry you couldn't have ridden the gondola but great coming up with plan B. You are a clever tour guide.
