Kind surprised it’s taken me so long to stop at Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon, but finally made it happen. 🏷️25.06B

I also managed to visit two unvisited counties I had “orphaned” in Utah—Sanpete and Rich—officially completing the state. I’ve now finished 11 states and sit at 2110/3144 total counties on my quest.

Marked off Utah on my State Capitol Building quest. Now at 46/50. 🏷️25.06B
We enjoyed our unexpected scenic drives through Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks yesterday. A short visit, for sure, but always worth stopping in whenever and for however long you can. 🏷️25.06B
And we also got to visit with some of our ASU football tailgating friends and check out their amazing new house in the Teton Valley, featuring great views of the western side of the Tetons. 🏷️25.06B
We got to visit some of our favorite parkchat friends, which was really great. 🏷️25.06B
It’s time for Jen to fly home, but first a celebratory beverage for an excellent and productive four day weekend away. After dropping her off at the airport in a few minutes, I’ll start making my way home, camping a couple times along the way. Really enjoyed this trip! 🏷️25.06B

This old dam on Salmon Falls Creek isn’t leaking—but the adjacent rocks are. Evidently, the water held in the reservoir has found some fractures in the rock, and is now slowly seeping out to the canyon downstream. 🏷️25.06B
We stopped at Koto Brewing in Twin Falls to mark off an Idaho brewery for Jen. It’s named after a Japanese-American man who had built a successful cafe here but was interned at nearby Minidoka during WWII. Not only is the brewery named after Koto, but it’s even in the same brick building as his cafe. 🏷️25.06B
The city of West Wendover is the only portion of Nevada legally in the Mountain Time Zone.
Why? Well, because it has the closest casinos and weed dispensaries to metro Salt Lake, so it’s more connected to folks coming from Utah than from other areas of rural Nevada.
Funny how that works…

This art installation, just off I-80 along the Bonneville Salt Flat, is apparently called the Metaphor: The Tree of Utah. Uh yeah, sorta weird.
Look, I’ve been to Pando, and if there’s any “tree of Utah,” it’s gotta be that one.
