Vacation Perspectives

Vacations are great for sharpening the proverbial saw. Our trip this summer took us to southern Utah.

I just wanted to share a few photo highlights from the trip:


The Grand Canyon is an amazing place. Pictures don't even do the place justice. Our visit was brief but definitely worthwhile. Perceptions of distance and proportion are completely distorted
by the landscape. The next picture below is of my wife and I. The wind took my hat and gave it to the canyon. The other place we visited was Zions Park. This place has a magical feel to it. We explored the Kolob Reservoir Rd route which takes you down a very untraveled back road into the park. The Wildcat Canyon Trail is where we took this photo of the kids and I.



Here is another photo from that trail.


Finally, a great shot of our van in the midst of the park.


We plan on exploring these places more. If you ever need to clear your head and experience something surreal, these are the places to go.

Looks like you had a nice time Jeremy. Earth is an amazing place - I am glad you got to see such a unique & amazing part of it.

As it turns out, our Zions hike was one of only a handful of family friendly hikes in the park. The rest are all cliff exposed death traps for the kids. The wife and I are going to make an effort to go without the kids next time.
