Day 6: And then – the Coast

From we set off from Salt Lake City, we had the immense flatlands of Utah, the national parks of Great Teton and Yellowstone in Wyoming, the beautiful Sawtooth mountains of Idaho and the badlands of east Oregon.

And then – after hour after hour traveling through the landscape of nothingness – there it was; the west coast. The end of the great US.

Cold coast

And then came the coast, and with it – the wind and the cold!? Not that we hadn’t done our temperature research; (we even had 1st hand information that people were wearing ‘winter jackets’ in San Francisco in the mid of July?!), but to be honest, we had difficulties understanding it. California is supposed to be the Sunshine State, right?

From the intense 35°C (95°F) heat of Salt Lake City, the temperature was now 15°C (59°F). Yikes!
