The Legacy Parkway

Here's some photos. The first picture at right is the Legacy Parkway looking north. Note that there is not even ONE single vehicle in sight.  Is this Salt Lake or what?  The Legacy is really amazing--no trucks are allowed and the speed limit is 55 mph and people actually OBSERVE the speed limit.  It's beautiful there.  The second photo is looking into the rear view mirror where we see one lonely vehicle.  Bear in mind this is New Year's Eve.  It's truly surreal on The Legacy.  Even though The Legacy is only 13 miles long (13% of the metroplex gauntlet) it change the entire equation of driving through Salt Lake City.  It's so totally much more relaxing and less stressful.  It boggles our imagination that a conservation state like Utah could have spent the 100's of millions they did on this stretch of highway.  Peaceful, pastoral, bucolic and many other laid back words come to mind in thinking of how to describe The Legacy.  We look forward to this piece of the SLC mayhem.
