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 International Airport is also known as SLC and is located in the city of Salt Lake City, which is in the state of Utah. SLC is located within a few miles of the business district of Salt Lake City and is near Brigham Young University such as home to BYU and NBA team Utah Jazz.
