Today is the day we reach our destination! We left south Salt Lake City in aggressive traffic at 70+ mph across 6 lanes of curved highway. We were happy to pass through Provo and turn off on highway 6 toward Spanish Fork. Our passage continued alongside the railroad track and Rocky Mountains.
We didn’t do much research beyond the ALCAN for our journey so we were amazed to find out our route passed the entrance to Arches National Park and resort town of Moab along with other historic parks.
Our 3,388 mile trek from Anchorage, Alaska to Farmington, New Mexico with additional side trips to National Parks took twelve days. Our trek followed the early routes of the First Nations as we traveled south and learned about different cultures – Kluane, Ashihik, Teslin Tlingit, Taku Tlingit, Liard, Blood, Blackfeet, Salish, Pend d’Oreille, Kootenai, Ute, Navajo and many more. We thank God for this amazing opportunity blessed with wonderful weather, friendly fellow-travelers, loving locals, incredible wildlife and countless beauty along the way.
