    Gorgeous.

    Interestingly, it was built by the Mormons!

    What a pity it was destroyed in a fire.

      (I know, it’s Utah, but still, it was the Church itself, and it was a resort for its members…

      Funny how it ended up allowing coffee, tea and booze, despite LDS doctrine… I guess money-making was the motivation…)
