My Skywatch Friday post are shots from my archives of my various trips in 2005 and 2008 to Bryce Canyon National Park. It is one of my favorite parks, the trails are amazing to walk among the hoodoos. The scenery and sky over the Bryce Canyon is just gorgeous. This is also my plea to help put a stop to the Alton coal mining just 10 miles from Bryce Canyon National Park. Here is a link to send a letter to the governor of Utah protesting the Alton strip mine.
Various articles on the Alton coal mining NRDC and Robert Redford and OnEarth.org. Alton is located 10 miles from Bryce Canyon National Park and Bryce is just 50 miles from Zion National Park. I read that just Bryce Canyon National Park attracts over 1 million tourist a year. I for one would not like to see coal mining trucks, dirty air pollution and the natural beauty of the beautiful red rocks destroyed on the way to the national parks that I love.
Please visit Skywatch Friday to see beautiful skies from around the world. Thanks to the hosting group of Sylvia, Wren, Sandy, Klaus and Fishing Guy. Thanks for stopping by to view my skies and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Bryce Canyon National Park is really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThese are all beautiful skies over Bryce, and I'd like to see them stay that way. I've already sent a letter to the Gov.
ReplyDeleteOh, Bryce Canyon and Zion are two of my favorite parks, too, and I'm heartsick to hear of the strip mining! I will certainly do what I can to add my protests!! Thanks for the information Eileen! Hope you have a great weekend!

These photos are so amazing Eileen. No wonder you enjoy the trails in Bryce Canyon - it looks like a spectacular place to hike.
ReplyDeleteWe went to Bryce and Zion years before we had a digital. Somewhere I have my photo albums stored (they're at my daughter's house, I really know where they are)....but they're not at hand. I'm so glad you shared some of your old photos since I can't look at mine right now and am thinking about the wonderful times we spent there.
ReplyDeleteYou always have such brilliant photos.
