We drove back through the park one last time, and then back to real life back in Salt Lake City.

We woke up very early to get sunrise photos of Mount Moran from the Oxbow Bend Turnout. I didn't think the sunrise ended up being as spectacular as it could've been, but we each ended up with a few awesome photos.

We drove up to the Tetons, set up camp at Signal Mountain Campground, ate dinner at the Gun Barrel Steakhouse, and then drove up to the top of Signal Mountain to watch the sun set behind the Tetons.

Oops
On account of our the tail light snafu from the night earlier, we woke up very early in our overpriced La Quinta room because Mindy and I had to get back to Salt Lake for work. Despite getting only a few hours of sleep, I was able to make the drive safely back to Salt Lake.

Awesome
We started the day by driving to Mesa Verde National Park to explore some of the Native American ruins.

Santa Fe, NM
Mindy had wanted to visit Santa Fe, NM, which is not a short drive from Durango, but I couldn't imagine ever again being closer than now, so we resolved to get to Santa Fe despite the distance.

The only goal for today was to get to Durango, Colorado at some point. We started the day in Grand Junction and we had about 200 milles of the San Juan Range to enjoy on our way to Durango.

Mindy and I left Salt Lake City after work and drove to Grand Junction, CO to spend the night. The drive was peaceful. The sunset lighting on the red rocks of eastern Utah was awesome.

Sadly, we had to leave Las Vegas in the late morning. The drive back to Salt Lake City wasn't too bad. We even spent some time by the Virgin River in its namesake canyon in Arizona.

Mindy and I spent some time relaxing by the pool. In the evening, we had the opportunity to see Lewis Black perform at the Mirage. I had always been a fan of his, but seeing him perform in person only made me appreciate his comedy even more.

Let's Go to Vegas
Mindy and I left chilly Salt Lake City early in the morning and arrived in balmy Las Vegas in the afternoon. Dinner at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant at Paris Las Vegas (also our hotel for this trip) was superb.
