Its cliche. I know. Everyone says the one thing you have to do in New Orleans, LA is eat beignets. So we did and it was soooo worth it! When We Visited: November 2013 Ages of Kids: 8, 6, 3 Where We Stayed: New Orleans KOA New Orleans is not the most kid friendly city –…
Earlier this year during our planning phases, we had a conversation with my parents in which we discussed the possibility of attending the Astronomy Festival at Bryce Canyon the last week of June. My dad has been a member of the Salt Lake Astronomy Society (SLAS) for as long as I can remember and many…
After visiting the Muir Woods last time we were in the Bay Area, I knew I wanted to visit the site that John Muir called home. About 30 minutes outside the downtown area, I was surprised at this oasis tucked in off a busy road. When We Visited: July 2014 Ages of Kids: 8, 6, 4…
Just recently I had the opportunity to visit the Discovery Gateway Museum in Salt Lake City, UT with my kids. We had a blast! Although the museum is not the biggest we’ve been to (and we’ve been to quite a few) it kept our attention spans, and I feel like my kids learned a thing…
Last week we spent 2 nights at Angel Lake high in the Ruby Mountains. It was beautiful and surprising given that generally our excursions across Nevada on I-80 are done as quickly as possible due to the lack of scenery.

So in the Oquirrh mountains there is one even worse I would say. It is going up to Butterfield Canyon (I think). It is just as steep as a drop off and no guard rails – BUT a dirt road and only one lane – so if a car comes the other way one has to try and scoot up against the mountain and the other goes as close to the edge as they can. We tried it once and only made it half way before I insisted that we turn around because I was sure we were going to die. I heard the views are worth it – but some things are definitely not worth it. If you like adventure you should try it next time you are in Utah. 🙂ReplyCancel
Beautiful pics! My husband goes to bed pretty early so we are rarely out at the golden hour. I can’t wait until the days are a bit shorter so I can get more pics in that beautiful light!
Its definitely worth it!
Good stuff! Looking forward to your “part 2” post on Night sky photography 😀

[…] the event, but it sounded really great so we were pretty sad we missed it. Having been to both Bryce Canyon and Fort McHenry during special events we are generally fans! While connected to wifi, Sam […]
