We crossed the mountains down into Salt Lake City and finally into Idaho.

We found a great RV park in Heyburn , ID, actually it is a City Park next to the Visitor’s center. It was very inexpensive and very nice, most all the sites have concrete pads and are very roomy. It is right next to the river and there is a great path on which to stretch your legs.

While in Heyburn we set out to tour the City of Rocks, which is on the California Trail, the route the early settlers followed westward.

Wagons at the Visitor’s Center such as used to travel the California Trail.
