Itinerary
Day 1: Salt Lake City – Idaho Falls
If we have time after we have picked you up from SLC International Airport, we will also explore a bit of Salt Lake City itself.
Temple Square*
Temple Square is often seen as the heart of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS), also known as the Mormons. Still the headquarters of this global church, we see the reconstruction of the Salt Lake City temple, Temple Square also contains other historic buildings such as the Tabernacle, the Beehive House, and the Conference Center.
Utah State Capitol*
Modeled after the US Capitol Building in Washington DC, the Utah State Capitol Building is stunning. This brilliant piece of architecture is the center of government for all of Utah, containing the chambers for the Utah State Legislature, the chamber for the Utah Supreme Court, and the office for the Utah Governor.
Idaho Falls
Here is where we will stop to eat lunch, and check out the man made waterfall that the town is named after.

Upstream, Upper Mesa Falls plunges over remnants of an ancient eruption, a dramatic reminder of the region’s fiery geologic past.
