To Utah!

To complete my picture updating, here are some cell phone pics from my drive to Utah the next day. I took almost a hundred, overcome again and again by the beauty and grandeur of each new sight.

Started out heading into the Rocky Mountains from Denver. The poor Mazda, loaded down with hundreds of pounds of recording equipment, struggled to make it in the thin air.




Finally - mountains! Snow, peaks, forests of pine trees, clear blue sky... it's been a long time.





After making it over the pass it was down down down, into Glenwood Canyon. An awesome spectacle and a marvel of engineering.






Grand stuff. Hard to capture in pictures.








With the last vestiges of the mountains behind, it was INTO THE DESERT!
A barren stretch man would have shuddered to transverse a century ago.






Welcome to Utah!







Home at last!
