In both 2009 and 2010, Eric and I drove north from Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah, to Pocatello and Blackfoot, then branched north-west on highway 26 to Arco, before taking highway 93 to Mackay (pronounced "Mackie"), a small town (with a population of about 550). On both trips, Mackay was our base for climbing Borah Peak. |
