re: Help me plan our road trip from Salt Lake City

If you do make it to Yellowstone area, if you are headed back and went through Idaho and that route going, coming back down through Pinedale and Lander Wyoming is kinda of neat. South Pass City is about a 90 minute stop to check out. IF you continue south towards Rock Springs down 191, it's high desert country. One of the largest concentrations of wild horses in the country. I'm not sure the Salt Lake to Yellowstone route takes you through the Star Valley/Afton/Alpine Wyoming area or not. That is a real pretty area. The Wind River Range is pretty. Pinedale on one side (west) and Lander on the other. Gannett Peak is actually about 15 feet higher than the Grand Teton and highest point in Wyoming. I like to see the postcard places, but I try to venture out and find some hidden gems out there that aren't high traffic tourist areas.
