We went down into Salt Lake City today, down to Temple Square where the Mormon Temple and other buildings are. We had been there before but it is a really beautiful area. They have extensive grounds, beautiful buildings, fountains, gardens, and several restaurants. We ate at the Lion's Pantry which we had eaten at before. It has home-style meals which are fantastic and the best rolls ever.
We went up to the observation floor at the top of the administration building which we had always missed before. It has some great views of Salt Lake City. You can see the Temple and the State Capitol building from there plus a really panoramic view of the valley that Salt Lake City inhabits.
There is a really big mall across the street, too, that covers a couple blocks. It has several fountains and I played with the camera some more, taking pictures of the water.
We took a back route to get there this morning through a national forest. Just before you reach the forest, you pass the Sundance area, ie. the place that Robert Redford owns where they hold the Sundance Film Festival. You really couldn't see the buildings much from the road but it sure is in a pretty area.
