Utah Places: San Rafel Wedge Overlook


Utah's Grand Canyon is easy to get to. I don't know why more people don't go. I'm not leaving good places out, just because they are easy. This is one of the most spectacular scenery's I have ever been to anywhere, and I have toured the Grand Canyon extensively, winter spring summer and fall. Does not even compare with the unique beauty of the San Rafael.

BLM manages this land. Perhaps they don't want too much tourism. I just know that I love it.

AAA has brochures on this place, or Carbon County can provide, or BLM offices. Nice spot for Sunday afternoon drive, long as you remember to bring deet. Here is a link to a nice YouTube film on the Swell, and other related.

Ruth's Museum

We travelled to Price today. Ruth took us to her museum and showed a few of the dino bones others have helped her collect.

She and her young daughter Victoria have quite a substantial museum. Those people should be proud to have such generous folk in their midst so willing to share so much.

As I astutely observed almost immediately, this species obviously suffered extinction because he was perennially impaled by a steel pole thru his chest. If the college needs any help of my obvious paleontological acumen, RUTH, let them know I can be had.
