The airport is an amazing place to be. People watching there is extraordinary type of fun. Thursdays, the "working girls" head to Vegas. Families galore heading to John Wayne Airport or Orlando Airport. Businessmen, hoping to get upgraded to first class, heading to their next appointment, meeting or wherever they go - and they go so often, they get those upgrades quite a bit.
I think the thing that excites me the most is the awe that people have when they get here and see the mountains. And they are probably just seeing that kind of beauty for the very first time. It's something that we residents take for granted for the most part. It's something we see every day. But, when you see the excitement that comes from people arriving here - they stand their entire families in front of the windows so they can take a picture with the mountains as the background, you realize that we get to see this every day. They stand and take photo after photo - just to get that view.
We live in a great place. The scenery in the State of Utah is amazing. I've been to almost every corner of it. The mountains that surround the Salt Lake valley are like a cocoon. You go north and up through Logan Canyon and it's so beautiful. Driving into the mountains through Park City and Heber, the Alpine Loop, Spanish Fork Canyon - we can just go there and see amazing wildlife and scenery. The salt flats, barren and beautiful in their own right. And there is nothing more awesome than the red rock of southern Utah.
Yep, we are lucky - we're a day drive away from gorgeous at any time.

So very true, yet we don't even take advantage of it.

Wasatch Front is home, the mountains always made me feel safe. I never took them for granted, now that I can't see them every morning, noon and night, I miss them more than you can imagine. They are awe inspiring. Jackie
