The number of homeless female veterans is on the rise: in 2006, there were 150 homeless female veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars; in 2011, there were 1,700. That same year, 18% of homeless veterans assisted by the VA were women.
Re: Best dramatic drive from Spokane to Salt Lake City. I have driven between Spokane and Salt Lake City and the drive is a beautiful mountain drive through the panhandle of Idaho and Montana. Huge forests of Pine. Nothing scenic to speak of though once you hit I15. We visited a working silver mine in Wallace, Idaho and a few ghost towns in Montana.
Salt Lake City Map. Whether you want to go skiing in the Salt Lake City mountains or you prefer warm weather activities such as hiking and mountain biking, heading to one of the area resorts can be an excellent idea. These resorts are mostly found in the Wasatch Front Salt Lake City canyons, and they include Alta and Brighton, to name a couple.
