Utah is a fascinating state. We have a wide variety of outdoor activities. Just to name a few are water skiing, camping, hiking, skiing, boating and 4 wheeling. If I was to drive 20 miles in any direction from my home I could either be in the mountains or on the desert. Utah has so many beautiful places that it hard to contain a few pictures on one page. In 2005 I felt the need to start a new page. Utah has a great variety of places to see and experience. Utah has a large variety of wild life. The Yellowstone Wolves are also found in the mountains of northern Utah. So far its only a couple pictures of eagles, but I'll work on it this year. Utah is covered with Indian writings. We have Petroglyphs and Pictographs in many of our canyons. Some are from the Fremont Indians, but many are as old as the Anasazi. Flaming Gorge is located in the northeast corner of the State. The lake is great for fishing and water skiing. Zion's National Park is located in south central Utah. We took a little drive up Diamond Fork near Spanish Fork. The drive was beautiful. Nine Mile canyon is really nine mile long, its more like 40. Its located east of Wellington, Utah. Over 800 sites have been found containing ancient Indian relics. Nine mile is less than 40 miles from my home. Its an amazing place to explore. Each time I go there I find new writing and ruins. Arches National Park is located near Moab, Utah. The park has over 3,000 arch formations. Arches National Park is my favorite place to go in Utah to go camping. Devils Garden is a pretty rough area to go hiking in. Take lots of water. I purchased a new camera and I had to try it out. For East this year we went to Arches. Its real close to my home here in Utah. While we were there this year it snowed several inches. I thought Arches National Park was a beautiful before, but with a little snow it became one of the grandest places on the earth. Monument Valley was beautiful. its the only National Park maintained by an Indian Tribe. I took the tour, but even without there is quite q bit to see. In May of 2006 I decided to do something different. I went canoeing with some friends on the San Rafael River. It was fun, but very challenging. Nine Mile 2008 Once again we took a short trip to one of our closest and favorite places. Today we found quite a few ruins that we had overlooked before. It amazing how they still blend into the environment. The canyon is beautiful, and well worth the trip.
