My trip was a good reminder how awesome the State of Utah truly is. No other state boasts such a variety of beautiful scenery as the Beehive State, and I feel fortunate to have traveled there again.
The 1,200 foot tall Kennecott smoke stack reflects in a colourful pond near the harbour at the Great Salt Lake.
Swallows make their mud homes in the security of the towering Saltair Resort on the shore of the Great Salt Lake.
Obsolete phone booths at the entrance of Saltair Resort are a reminder that we are solidly rooted in the wireless age.
At sunset on the edge of the Saltair Drive right-of-way, about a half-mile east of Saltair Resort.
Sailboats return to the harbour as the sun sets over the Great Salt Lake.
The old grain silo on Highway 36 near the southeast corner of Tooele County still stands as a familiar landmark on the desolate and lonely landscape.
I was thrilled that I could legally travel at 80 mph on Interstate 15 south of Meadow, Utah.
At an elevation of 10,000 feet, Cedar Breaks in southern Utah is one of the most beautiful spectacles on Earth. 
At the Panguitch Cemetery, Meadowlarks sing, "Panguitch is a pretty little town" near the grave of John D. Lee, an early Mormon pioneer who was executed for his role in the infamous Mountain Meadows Massacre.
Lichens grow on an old sandstone headstone in the Panguitch Cemetery. The name and epitaph long since eroded away.
The old gate at my dear old grandmother's home in Panguitch still stands. As a child, I had lots of fun swinging on this gate and walking on the old wooden fence, some of which still stands.
Near Bryce Canyon, the elevation is 7,777. 
Sap oozes from a young Pinion pine cone at Red Canyon in Garfield County. 
With hundreds of huge surrealistic towering Silly Sand-like sandstone monoliths, Red Canyon is always a joy to visit.
A 1" long Dragonfly rests peacefully on a flower moments before being attacked and eaten whole in a matter of seconds by a vicious Yellow Jacket.
Evaporation ponds on the southern shore of the Great Salt Lake bid me adieu as I departed the most beautiful state in the US. I hope to return soon.
