When the lights go down in the city...

Great Basin behind us, we continued east, and spent two nights in Salt Lake City, Utah. Near the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon, we found a reasonable place to watch the sun set. As the sky bled from blue to salmon to orange, the city lights began to twinkle below us.
