You are in the Rockies and hit elevations in the 7500-8500 range - though seems like we'd built to that altitude gradually over Idaho/Montana.


The one grade that looked a bit intimidating was 80 East from Park City to Evanston.

We came down the grade and into Salt Lake and were fine, but saw a lot of cars pulled over going up the extended grade in the opposite direction. The temperature was in the high 90's and I suspect many over-heated.
