I had to give a go at getting an artistic shot.<\/p>\n<p>Once we got into Utah, the Rockies loomed up, and they are spectacular! We saw snow-capped peaks and colorful, striated layers or rock uplifted by unimaginable forces over eons. We were in high desert plateau and it was magnificent. I felt as if some grand movie score should be playing in the background. You may ask why I didn\u2019t include any pictures of the mountains. I could not do them justice. What our eyes and brains can absorb is very difficult to capture in a photo, and I didn\u2019t even want to try. I just enjoyed them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/daideo.com\/elusiveblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/wpid-img_20150322_180605.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1645\" src=\"https:\/\/daideo.com\/elusiveblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/wpid-img_20150322_180605-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"wpid-img_20150322_180605.jpg\" width=\"584\" height=\"584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daideo.com\/elusiveblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/wpid-img_20150322_180605-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/daideo.com\/elusiveblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/wpid-img_20150322_180605-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/daideo.com\/elusiveblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/wpid-img_20150322_180605-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/daideo.com\/elusiveblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/wpid-img_20150322_180605.jpg 1520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Finally, after reaching Provo we found a Sizzler!
