Megatrip: Day 3

Good evening!
There was a lot to see on Day 3 of the big trip, and we covered a lot of miles, therefore there are a lot of photos in today's post!
We woke to a fantastic sunrise in Great Basin National Park. After we had sufficient coffee and packed up our camp, we spent some time exploring the park before hitting the road. Great Basin N.P. is an incredibly beautiful place...it seems almost like an island of high-mountain wilderness in the middle of barren desert. Out There Photography highly recommends you check it out if you ever get the chance!
From Great Basin, we headed east on Hwy. 50 across Utah. The dry lake bed at Sevier Lake was really neat. We found a spot along the highway where we could stop and walk out onto the salt flat. It was blazing hot that day, and the sunlight bouncing off the white surface only intensified the heat...quite an experience!
We followed Hwy. 50 until it met up with I-15, and headed north on 15 up to Provo, where we once again headed east, through the town of Provo, up through Provo Canyon (spectacular!), and on to our campsite for the night at Starvation Lake State Park. Most of the photos of Starvation Lake were taken from our campsite...as you can see, it was a pretty great spot!
We spent a peaceful (but chilly!) night there, and woke to a beautiful sunrise the next morning...but you'll have to wait until tomorrow to see that :)

Wishing you a calm and painless start to the week!
