Happy New Year! I started this year off beautifully by traveling to Zion and Bryce with Daniel, Vince, and Kevin M. from church. I had decided to travel to Utah about two months ago after reading a list of the best places to see in the winter time, and I felt pretty determined. Both parks featured their own mesmerizing charms and fun adventures. Personally, I enjoyed Zion's trails more than Bryce's because they were shorter yet showcased a greater variety of scenes. Bryce's views, however, looked more spectacular overall. While words cannot capture the gorgeousness of either park, Bryce was a winter paradise, a place I did not want to soon leave. I took so many photos, utterly enthralled by the canyons' shapes, patterns, and hues at every turn. I think this trip will remain unforgettable for a long time. It was just so beautiful, I am already sickly nostalgic.

| Bryce--captivating at every angle. |
