Road through canyons in AZ

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.Les mer

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

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,Les mer
The Big Boy (and sidekick Living Legend)

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. TheLes mer
Lunch at Roosters
9. mai 2019, Forente 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

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 dramaticLes mer
Mountaintop

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

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,Les mer
Heber Valley

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 streetLes mer

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

The Bear Trapper restaurant
11. mai 2019, Forente 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.

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 notLes mer
Geology

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.

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.

Scenic overlook on 12

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.
