On the way to Salt Lake City, I stopped and stretched my legs at 2 interesting places:

A short walk down into Bryce Canyon

My son and I went to Snowbird on Saturday. The tram was packed to capacity. Coronavirus or not…

This legendary mountain is huge.

It was interesting to go thru the Peruvian Tunnel in the upper reaches of the mountain. You ski up to the entrance and a conveyor belt pulls you into the tunnel

Inside, it’s a mining museum filled with pictures and artifacts as you glide by

It spits you out the other side into Mineral Basin and you’re skiing again

Apres Ski in the courtyard during Snowbird’s “Winterfest” weekend.

Billy Strings was performing. It was simply amazing bluegrass. I had never heard of him before. Check him out!


Light snow began to fall during his performance and it continued all night long.
