Scenes from Utah

 

The state of Utah is located just north of Arizona and like Arizona it has a variety of beautiful landscapes to enjoy.  Above is Checkerboard Mountain located inside Zions National Park.

All of these  photos are scanned from prints taken years ago.  Some didn't scan all that well but this one turned out perfect.  This photo was taken at a lake by a campground.  There was a great sunset that night.



Another beautiful spot in Utah is Bryce Canyon National Park.  This is a spectacular place full of crimson rock formations called hoodoos.  The formations roll out in front of you as far as the eye can see.
















In Salt Lake City, many people stop to visit the grounds of the headquarters for the Mormon Church.  The temple is the center piece of formal grounds.

This last photo comes from a small town in southern Utah called Cedar City.  This little town is home to the Utah Shakespeare Festival with a series of plays running all summer long.  I used to go every year but I haven't been in quite a while.  The productions are always top notch.  

The state of Utah has a lot to offer the visitor.
