Pic: Zion Canyon from Angels Landing, Zion NP, UT
The problem with Utah is that pictures — especially my crappy iphone pictures — don’t do it justice. I’ve been lucky enough to visit some incredible places, but I think the top of Huayna Picchu overlooking an abandoned Incan city in the Andes is the only thing I’ve experienced that compares to being on the tip of Angels Landing. (Yes, I scrambled out past the cairns, all the way to the edge.)
After my early start and consequent early finish, I rounded out the day at the Springdale Public Library. I relaxed in a comfortable chair and watched a thunderstorm blow through the valley while backing up my laptop, catching up on email, and flipping through a book illustrating the birds of Zion. #ThanksBenFranklin
