ITINERARy
Day One: Salt Lake City - Idaho Falls - Hotel Near Yellowstone
Salt Lake City*
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. Back in the late 1840s when LDS pioneers first reached Utah, they decided to build a temple so that there would be a safe place to worship. From there, the church grew outwards across Utah, then throughout the United States, and then throughout the world. Temple Square is still the global headquarters for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to this day. Besides 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. In addition to its important role as the seat of government for all of Utah, the Capitol Building also holds incredible pieces of artwork depicting the history of the state.

Here is where we will stop to eat lunch, and check out the man made waterfall that the town is named after.
