Sunrise on the Great White Throne in Zion. A cool October morning, cliffs glowing gold as the first light slides across the sandstone. Quiet, still, unforgettable.

It's funny how the smoothest, straightest, easy-to-navigate roads often run through some of the most boring landscapes.

And some of the roughest, most circuitous and rugged ones take us through incredibly beautiful places. Maybe it's because we're moving so much slower that we take time to appreciate our surroundings.

Just making its merry little way through the landscape, as was I.

Starting a new thread with photos from #NineMileCanyon in #Utah.

This is one of the most concentrated collections of #RockArt in the US. Mostly pecked #Petroglyphs that are from 800 to 200 years old, with a few red painted #Pictographs mixed in.

Note there is a new problem with #vandalism to these important artifacts. 🙁 Everyone should work to protect them!

Utah wants a datacenter. The Great Salt Lake is half empty. Our half-wit governor asked the state to pray for rain. They still haven't banned fireworks. In fact, I can hear huge arials exploding in the distance as I write.

Here's how that's working out so far. I took this picture just a few minutes ago. The fire is near the Huntsman Cancer Institute. I can't tell if it's smoke or stupidity that's making my eyes water right now, but I know what's making me curse.

The Queen's Garden in Bryce Canyon, Utah is one of most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen.

Did you know that this was once part of a lake bed, hidden under the water?

If you could ever *love* a hospital, Huntsman Cancer Institute in SLC and Renown Regional Hospital in Reno get my love and gratitudes. And just now I learned that the beautiful hills behind Huntsman is on fire, threatening the hospital itself. I spent hours on those hills while my husband was in treatments. My heart breaks. I hope everyone at the hospital and in the community is safe.

A tribute to the mountain behind Red Butte Gardens in #SLC. Although the garden is saved, I'm sure this mountain is now charred.
