A day spent hiking in the heat calls for an evening eating and drinking.

Pizza pie



We eat it out of the box in our hotel room after a day's worth of driving. A paradox. It tastes pretty darn good.

Dining at Ruth's



The second oldest restaurant in Utah - we haven't a clue as to the first - Ruth's Diner in Emigration Canyon is housed in an old-school trolley car. We like the vibe and the decor.

With baked macaroni and cheese, a grilled portobello mushroom sandwich, and a classic chocolate malt pudding, we also like the menu.
