The photo above was taken through our hotel window in Cedar City, Utah. The pictures below are along the road across the state. Every mile a new panoramic view of beauty. I certainly wouldn't want to make the drive every day, but I've enjoyed every mile of the drive this once!
Not a lot of traffic, so cruising was easy.
Adelia says she's seen all the rocks she wants to see...but she'll have to look at the back side of the same rocks on the way home!
Many canyons, too. With ever changing colors. The snow that fell overnight added a unique face to the land.
This "rift" of rocks ran for 30 miles north and south. I guess cutting through the rock to make way for I-70 to pass through was a major engineering feat and wasn't completed until the '80s. This is looking west. The views on the other side were spectacular for miles. When you read a sign that says "No services for the next 107 miles", you know you're in for some solitary driving. But the ever changing views made it anything but boring. Thanks to satellite radio, we listened to tournament basketball games the entire way!
