Utah National Parks

Zion, Bryce, Arches and Capitol Reef National Parks are stunning.

Exhilarating experience perched atop this dramatic rock with a steep drop off into this beautiful valley of stunning formations. I believe I can fly!!!

Waterfalls are a rare site in Zion, but we were thrilled to have experienced many including this multi-level fall.

The various colors and extraordinary rock formations in Zion’s valley are remarkable.

Zion is easily accessible and the canyons make for unique vistas.

Bryce is actually an amphitheater not a canyon and the Hoodoos here are constantly evolving. This was the most unique National Park we have visited.

Sunset in Bryce is a breathtaking experience as the colors change and illuminate the amazing natural sandstone formations.

Hiking into these valleys was otherworldly. We were unable to get passes to hike Angel’s Landing, which was likely a blessing in disguise as it is considered one of the scariest, albeit rewarding hikes in the nation.

Balanced rock is an iconic representation of some of the surprising formations in Arches.

Landscape Arch with a 300 foot span is one of the world’s largest natural arches. Terry happily climbed into the arch for a better view.

Double arch is a remarkable formation and looks slightly different from every angle.

Many of the arches have been named by the National Park Service. We named this one Sphinx.

Terry initially lost one pair of his glasses. Luckily, we found another pair here at Spectacles rock.
