It is several days off of the exact solstice but so long as we have clear skies it should make for some neat viewing. For those arriving later in the evening, we'll be easy to spot at our camp site near the Tunnels. Following the Solstice celebrations we will travel back towards SLC in the dirt, with optional exit points for those that need to return home earlier. Potential stops include the Lucin ghost town, the Transcontinental Railroad system, the Hogup, Newfoundland and Lakeside Mountains, Spiral Jetty or the Silver Island Mountain range north of Wendover.
