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.

A morning in Bryce Canyon National Park
It’s been a long time since I visited Bryce Canyon, so it seemed like a great spot to camp on my way to Salt Lake City. As per tradition, I arrived long after dark, so I’d only have a few hours in the morning in the park. I ended up driving each of the major viewpoints, snapping off some photos on my both my iPhone and Nikon Z5 (though I only brought my 24-50mm lens on the trip). Here are some of the phone shots.
A helluva place to lose a cow. 🏷️25.06B
An (unfortunate) sign of the times? Delicate Arch as backdrop for a sketchy ATM. 🏷️25.06B
Had a chance to finally get together with @mattplatt@onephoto.club for a beverage. It’s always great to turn inline connections into IRL relationships, and I think we had originally planned this six years ago. Glad to finally make it happen

Butch Cassidy’s childhood home. Stopped here to use the vault toilet. The sheriff in front of me pulled off too, I assumed to use the toilet, so I checked out the house first. Well, upon returning to the parking lot I saw that he had transported inmates to clean the now-closed facilities. 🏷️25.06B
This town’s identity revolves around hiking with quilts. No, really. 🏷️25.06B

Look at these amazing contraptions!

As a Phoenician, it’s always great to wake up in the cool pines in June. 📍 Bryce Canyon National Park 🏷️ 25.06B
Wildfire smoke and blowing dust obscured all the great views around the Vermilion Cliffs/Lake Powell/Grand Staircase area, so no photo stops on my drive today /:
As it is, with my late start, I’ll arrive at camp around 11pm. (I find it nearly impossible to show up before dark) 🏷️25.06B
Still lowkey compiling some photos for a possible “Monogrammed Mountains” quest of A-Z hillside letters. Not sure why I hadn’t ever grabbed the K before while passing thru Kanab.
