Snowbird, Utah

We're in Snowbird now. It's the timeshare week we thought we'd throw in for showers without worrying about holding tanks, electricity, TV and a little civilization. We're staying in a studio in the Cliff Club.
http://www.snowbird.com/lodging/clifflodge.html. We still have to turn the sofa into a bed each night, but we're pretty used to that now. We're on the 7th floor and have these views from our balcony.

On our hikes we've seen beautiful scenery too. Yesterday we took the Tram up and hiked down. The Tram takes you from 8,100 ft. to the top, which is 11.000 ft! With my fear of heights - just between us - I was glad to hike for the 3 hours to get down the mountain instead of taking the Tram for the 15 min. ride back. The hike was nice with these views.




Today Rusty took the Tram up and rode his bike down the mountain. He got an All-Day pass and did this multiple times! He loved it! - Me, I took pictures - happily! 


To answer some of your questions:
- The temperature in Yellowstone, Wy. had highs 57-60 w/lows 27-34. Now in Snowbird, Utah the highs are low 60's and the lows are high 40's.
- If you want to see the pictures enlarged, just click on them. If you want to see them even bigger click again. For example can you see Rusty waving from the Tram in the picture?
- We haven't updated the map with our return plans because we don't have complete plans just yet.

    Its awesome to see the views there and hear the stories! I've read updates each week but unable to comment...duh?? Couldn't figure out how to register. Just watched an amazing rescue story on TV last night, the marathon runner was trapped in a cannon (hurt from a 20ft fall). HER DOG 'TAZ' stayed with her during freezing temps at night and finally was found. Needless to say it was a tear jerker.
