I thought I would have time to set up this find penguins entry and take pictures while sitting waiting to board. But on the way down traffic got worse as time went on. Fortunately the tsa lines movedLæs mere

The scenery up in the rockies is really great.
Road through canyons in AZ
8. maj 2019, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
The road weaves drunkenly between multiple mountains. They tower over you a couple hundred feet. Visibility is just 100 feet to the next bend.
Elevation

After crossing into Utah the elevation started increasing. Now theres grass and cows. The town names were pretty straightforward. Like after the initial elevation climb there was the town of Snowberm.Læs mere
Take a break

This is the Crazy Cow Cafe in Beaver. Yes, Beaver. I'm pretty sure many bumper stickers are sold in this town.
Skiing apartment place

Its 35 and flurries. It will be 45 and showers at the train ceremony. This is the view from walmart. I'll try to take more pictures of the roads and towns.
In Ogden, site of golden spike ceremony

One thing i noticed about utah... clean clean clean. Everything's really tidy and in its place. In the towns around here (provo, orem, ogden) they're building houses like crazy. Not here and there,Læs mere
The Big Boy (and sidekick Living Legend)
9. maj 2019, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C
Poor living legend, its totally overshadowed now. The weather is cool but the intense sun made it all good. Must be a couple thousand people here. The closest i could get was 10 people back. TheLæs mere
Lunch at Roosters
9. maj 2019, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C
This is Rooster's Brewery. The beer is "nutty" and very good. The soup is green bean and corn, very good. The sandwich is blackened salmon. As you can see it hasn't been tried yet.
In the mountains
9. maj 2019, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
I took one of the small roads that went to a ski resort in the mountains. It was difficult to get pictures because the road is right up against these very steep mountainsides. Its really dramaticLæs mere
Mountaintop
9. maj 2019, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 0 °C
The elevation here was 8735 feet. On the way back I got a shot of a community built up against a mountain, which is very common here.
Park City
10. maj 2019, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 0 °C
I tried to take one of the residential roads up the mountain to get pictures but houses were packed in cheek to jowl and the roads became tiny one way alleys. These properties are extremely valuable,Læs mere
Heber Valley
10. maj 2019, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 4 °C
This town is awesome (in my opinion.) It has this outrageous backdrop of the Wasatch mountains in the distance and since the land here is surprisingly flat everyone has a great view. The main streetLæs mere
Heber Valley RR

When you get to heber valley rr you can admire no less than 3 cabooses. The brown is an honest to god wood model.
Logan Canyon National Scenic Byway
11. maj 2019, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C
This was a really scenic drive through the mountains ending at a lake. You can't take pictures while driving. Or you shouldn't, its not safe. So I tried taking some videos. They're just random becauseLæs mere

Rest stop at the top

The elevation is around 9500 above Bear Lake. Panorama coming later.
The Bear Trapper restaurant
11. maj 2019, Forenede Stater ⋅ 🌫 11 °C
This looks like a vacation community, houses all along the lake and scattered up the mountains. But at these elevations it must be more ice fishing than boating. The Bear Trapper was a nice place.
Travelling to Bryce

Here's a few pictures I took going south to the Bryce area.
Scenic road 143
12. maj 2019, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C
This road went up 10,500 feet into a mountain range. It was a great drive. I took it to see a geological formation like the "amphitheater"s in Bryce. But in # 3 and 4 you can see the road is notLæs mere
Geology
12. maj 2019, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C
Near the top of the mountain was this really strange geology: immense piles of broken rock. There's not a weed in them but they have lichens growing.

Scenic route 12
13. maj 2019, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
The first picture is from my cell phone. As you can see it didn't focus. The extra work to use a good camera is worth it.
Rt 12 had great scenery all along it. I didnt want to post 100 randomLæs mere
Scenic overlook on 12
13. maj 2019, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C
The pic is a big hollowed out valley like these amphitheaters they talk about, just the scenery is too big to get the whole thing.
Stephen JuhlinAs long as you made it. I signed up for the penguins and it said signing up would not allow the pics on Facebook. hats because Mark is such a PITA and didnt get his own way with something.
