There are also 45 State Parks, 12 National Forests, and 4 National Wildlife Refuges.
To say that Utahns love and appreciate the great outdoors is an understatement.
Last weekend I got to experience the amazing beauty of Bryce Canyon National Park.
I wish I had a quarter for every time I uttered the words...
"Wow!" "Amazing!" "Beautiful!"
However, I rarely uttered...
"I really have to pee".
I have acquired great bladder control since I've become a winter hiker! (TMI?)
...Hoodoos...
...and tunnels.
...and crossed paths with an occasional hiker who kindly agreed to take our picture.
There were bold and beautiful ravens...
...who looked a bit peeved when they couldn't cajole a handout.
Lunchtime with a hoodoo view...
...Aahhh...
...Life is good!
