Logan's Festival of the American West is a step back in time. For dates, entrance fees, etc. an excellent article about “bringing history to the 21 st century people” is http://www.utah.com/schmerker/2000/american_west_fest.htm . From that suite, “Inside the gates of the 160-acre American West Heritage Center (actually, it's not in Logan but about six miles south in Wellsville) and behind a thick line of cottonwoods, the sounds of the highway fade away. A water wheel and sluice gate help the hopeful pan for gold. Banjo players sing of the good days gone bad. Two men help to build a log cabin before winter sets in. A woman teaches a daughter to can peaches, while another teaches how to knit. Down a hill, Native Americans weave, pound corn and dance. And the mountain men regale stories.”

A great B&B experience can be found at Providence Inn B & B and their web site is: http://www.providenceinn.com/ . One of the truly excellent B&B sources for Utah is http://www.bbiu.org/ . which is the official site for the Bed and Breakfast Inns of Utah .

Salt Lake City is one of America's cleanest and friendliest cities I have visited during over thirty five years of traveling America. The state has something to offer every traveler summer or winter. A visit to the Salt Lake City buildings related to the Mormon faith will bring out your architectural appreciation, no matter what your religious background. Utah, with the vast expanse, the wide roads, and varied landscape is an RV'er dream land to travel. Happy Traveling.
