Cedar City, UT

This is another photo taken in Capitol Gorge which is in Capitol Reef National Park. There is a section where the old road used to pass through Capitol Gorge (before US Hwy 24 was completed farther north), where many of the early residents of the area scratched into the rock wall. The ones that interested me the most are the WLC (the C is pretty faint), they were scratched there by my late father.

As a kid, I wondered why he would never take me down to look at this part of the Park. I guess that as he got older, he was embarrassed by the actions of his youth.

This is another photo of one of my favorite places on this earth. It is taken at the entrance to Capitol Gorge in Capitol Reef National Park. This is a series of photographs intended to illustrate why we do love living in Southern Utah. It is honestly, one of the most diversely beautiful areas that I have ever been to. Enjoy!

This has been a crazy week for Darcy and myself, we have been out taking some photographs. Honestly because I love this area so much, I thought that I would share some of the more interesting photographs that we have taken not just this week but through the years. As you may have noticed this is the background photos for our blogs here on Active Rain.

This is a lonely grave located in Notom, Wayne County, Utah. It is just east of Capitol Reef National Park. It is a beautiful setting to have the end of the trail. This is the reason that I wanted to share it with you all here on the 'Rain!

Cedar City, Not just a beautiful city, but a great lifestyle as well. Here in Cedar City, Utah, we live in one of the most beautiful areas of the United States, we are the gateway to several National Parks and Monuments.

We are nestled against the mountains and enjoy each of the four seasons.

We also enjoy great opportunities to enjoy the outdoors with walking and hiking trails, ATV trails.

The Brian Head Ski Resort isn't far, and we also enjoy a golf course that is set against the red hill for a dramatic and beautiful backdrop.

For those looking for something more, we also enjoy the Utah Shakespearean Festival, a Tony award winning production of the works of William Shakespeare, as well as many other Broadway caliber plays during the summer and fall seasons.

Another festival that coincides with the Shakespearean Festival is the Neil Simon Festival, many of the great plays of this remarkable playwright come to life each summer. For both of these festivals, professional actors come to perform, making these well-done, professional plays.

There is usually one Festival or another going on, making this the Festival City. So come on up and enjoy this Festival City known as Cedar City, Utah. Stay a day or a lifetime, you will enjoy yourself!
