day eleven | great falls to salt lake city

It was an early morning as we arrived at the hotel later than we had planned the night before.

The drive offered rolling plains full of cattle and horse ranches. We crossed the Continental Divide a couple times as we went through the Rocky Mountains.

It’s amazing that we traveled the The Montana-Utah Road in a day which took 3 weeks with wagons pulled by mules and oxen in the 1860s for supplies to the mining camps.

A few miles off I-15, we found ourselves at Camas National Wildlife Refuge, we saw a few white tailed deer, two Sandhills cranes and lots of birds.

The rest of the trip offered beautiful skies with a mix of clouds, rain, sunshine & sunset. 571 miles brought us to Salt Lake City for the night.
