Coral-Pink Sand Dunes

KANAB, UTAH

I can only imagine how the Mormon pioneers felt when they first set eyes on Utah. The landscape is a study in contrasts. The green juniper lined meadows broken only by canyons carved into the earth. The backdrop of rock towers reach to the sky in the most dramatic formations.
It is at these time I wish I had the hands of an artist, my mother's hands, to be able to capture the coral sands stretching across miles of untouched lands.

Today, we are in Kanab, Utah. We spent a few hours driving the sandy back roads and playing in the deep coral-pink sand dunes. The sunny day was made very pleasant by a spring breeze. We took the afternoon to sit outside, read books and not do much else. It was a welcomed break.

Tomorrow we will pack up and drive two hours to St. George, Utah. There, we hope to spend six days hiking and enjoying Zion National Park.

Kanab has been a beautiful beginning to our journey.
