Road Tripping

The Red Rocks of St George

I love taking road trips. I love to travel, so any chance I get to get into a car and just drive I'm all for it. This past weekend I got to take a trip up to Utah with my dad, brother and mom. It was just what I needed. I even took a day off work. My co-workers did miss me. Which is always nice.

The road from Vegas to Provo, UT isn't that scenic but it was fun to see the brown desert change into the green high mountain plateau of Utah County. Here are some pictures of the road:

The Virgin River Gorge

The halfway point to Provo is Beaver, UT. A small little town that is near and dear to my heart because of the four months I spent there as a missionary for the church.

There was snow on the mountains as we past and we knew we were in for a cold weekend. Coming from 80* weather in Vegas. It was a good thing we packed some winter coats and scarves.







I always love catching sight of the many temples found along the road. Here are a couple we saw:

St George Temple...the small white thing in the middle

The new Payson temple still under construction, its going to be huge

New Provo Tabernacle Temple, still undergoing reconstruction work

There are many ways to keep ourselves occupied on long trips, my brother's idea is listening to music on his phone:

Mine was making a cool chain out of candy wrappers:

Fun times. Can't wait for my next trip.
