Highway 30

Tucked up in the very north west corner of Utah is highway 30. It leaves Snowville on I-84 and heads west then south around the Great Salt Lake. The most remarkable thing is that it was once the old midland trail. This dirt road started about 1860 and actually went from the east across the prairie to the west supplying the mining camps and towns along the way. It wasn't until the 1930's the it was paved.

In the Beginning

Several years ago, my husband and I decided to travel down all the paved roads in Utah, our home state. We have just about finished and it has been an amazing adventure filled with wonderful vistas, grandeur and aw inspiring moments. Plus miles of almost boring deserts. This blog is dedicated to all the places we have traveled and things we have seen, Much of it unknown. Our guide is a well traveled book of maps published by Benchmark Maps. According to our daughter, the geographer, it is the best. GPS is great but it does not take the place of a good map. We will start our journey in the same place as the book. The North West corner.
