We spend a lot of time on car trips, enjoying the bounty of God's creation here in Utah. We love heading for the mountain passes and deep canyons, finding a fairly decent road and following it. One day we took Highway 6 into Spanish Fork Canyon. What a gorgeous drive. We were amazed at the way the highway crew cuts through the gigantic granite mountains, then lines the passes with concrete that looks like it is part of the mountains. Gorgeous! We passed a train loaded with coal as it wound it's way through the passes on its way to the valley. The train snaked along, passing under us in some places. We passed oil donkeys, refineries for the crude coal and other minerals, and gigantic modern mines billowing white spirals of gases into the crystal clear sky. Not a sign of polution the whole trip. Very relaxing and interesting drive. We stopped on top of the world and surveyed the humungous water reservoirs and lakes hidden in the Rocky Mountains. We picniked at the Devils Kitchen and saw the most breathtaking sight I've ever seen! I'm sharing a few of the pictures.
