Moab to Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

From Moab we headed north towards our destination of Salt Lake City, Utah’s capital, stopping on the way for lunch at the pleasant town of Price. We arrived in Salt Lake City late in the afternoon, surprised at how fast and hazardous the traffic was in the approach to the city. Although the Salt Lake City environs has only two million people, it has a busy freeway system that in places is as fast and furious as that in Los Angeles. The truck drivers are much too complacent, and unnecessary chain collisions must occur when there are vehicle accidents. It had been a risky few hours’ drive, and we were relieved to park the Pontiac and check into a motel in downtown Salt Lake City. Time for a day’s break.
