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 movedLeggi altro

Road through canyons in AZ
8 maggio 2019, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 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.Leggi altro
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 a nice apartment. Its near many mountains for skiing.
Weather

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
9 maggio 2019, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C
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,Leggi altro
The Big Boy (and sidekick Living Legend)
9 maggio 2019, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 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. TheLeggi altro
Lunch at Roosters
9 maggio 2019, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 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 maggio 2019, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 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 dramaticLeggi altro
Mountaintop
9 maggio 2019, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 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 maggio 2019, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 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,Leggi altro
Heber Valley
10 maggio 2019, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 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 streetLeggi altro
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 maggio 2019, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 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 becauseLeggi altro

Rest stop at the top

The elevation is around 9500 above Bear Lake. Panorama coming later.
The Bear Trapper restaurant
11 maggio 2019, Stati Uniti ⋅ 🌫 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 maggio 2019, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 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 notLeggi altro
Geology
12 maggio 2019, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 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 maggio 2019, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 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 randomLeggi altro
Scenic overlook on 12
13 maggio 2019, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 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.
