I've been to Nevada before, but never really got to explore much. All the national parks in the area on my list of things I'd love to see, so I was very excited about this driving trip from Las Vegas to Salt Lake City via the backgrounds and cutting through the corner of Arizona.
Disclaimer- all photos were taken out of the front seat of the car while doing 70+ mph. They aren't great, but I really enjoyed the ride and the scenery was amazing.
A place of such contrasts- green, red, brown and blue.
I'm fascinated with the relative total flatness and then a giant rock jutting up.
What happened here? Maybe a fire of some sort or some type of bug infestation to kill all those trees.
Rock slides!
Maybe I should have been a geologist. That was the 1 science class that my husband took in college & he hated it.
We were so stinkin' close to the National Parks. I think this might be Zion peeking out from behind this mountain.
Why is the mountain all about the same terrain and texture, but then suddenly there is a big cliff on the side of it?
I really, really should have planned my trip better and flown in early to explore.
I think if I lived near here, I'd be a hiking & biking hippie every weekend.
And we soon started seeing snow in the peaks. There was a big snow storm earlier in October, but it was gorgeous and perfectly warm where we were.
Jagged rocks in front and a tranquil looking mountain with a gentle slope in back.
Lots and lots of truckers.....looks like we're going into the mountains!
GOOD NEWS OF THE DAY: Somebody is 5 months old- I can't believe how time is flying. I need to get some new pictures. Mia is getting big!
