Quick Trip: My New Favorite Place

I’ve been in Utah this past week looking for jobs and apartments. I thought that this would be a great place to move since my sister lives up here. I figured we could live near each other and still feel independent.

The moving plan, however, is a no-go. I’ll be staying in southern California—hopefully with a job. But Utah is definitely at the top of my places to detour to and vacation in the future. 

My roommate from college (who flew out to search for work as well) went with me to explore the windy mountain roads that my parents told me are a must-see!

We drove up to the Sundance Resort and pulled over to take a short walk to see the Bridal Veil Falls. The waterfalls pour down the mountain and look like big white steps that feed into each other until the crashing whiteness turns into more of a steep and shallow river that runs over piles of boulders.

I’ve never seen anything like it. Instead of cascading down into a lake or a pond, the waterfalls feed right into a river.

Since I knew that words wouldn’t be able to explain it as well as seeing it, I took some pictures for you all to enjoy!

It was so pretty walking alongside the river and seeing the waterfalls in the distance.

And we introduced The Shake-Face to Utah!

And because I’m such a die-hard Wikipedier (Wikipedia user), I typed in the Falls and found out that they freeze over in winter!

Maybe I’ll have to check out the skiing here next year and take advantage of seeing how the beauty changes!
