SWF....Keep the skies clean over Bryce Canyon National Park

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.
