December – Colorado, Salt Lake City, and Moab

Photographs of beautiful, scenic destinations along the way from Denver, Colorado to Salt Lake City, the Bonneville Salt Flats, Moab, and back into the heart of Colorado in November and December, 2024.

What words I have to say will mean nothing at all, so let me be silent, and let these images share some beautiful memories of places around the world.

After five days visiting a friend in Colorado, the scenic vistas of the world beyond called to me. I set off in search of them, and found this very beautiful scene of the La Sal mountains capped in snow offset by the red cliffs of the Canyonlands. Salt Lake City and the Bonneville Salt Flats, and Moab, and into Rifle, came afterwards.

This photograph was taken by a nice fellow traveler who kindly lent her hand.

Salt Lake City

Another photograph from the same area. There was frost on the ground. Winter had arrived.
There was mist that descended over the grounds for miles and miles. Visibility was very difficult. One could not see anything else on the road unless it was nearby. This truck drove alongside for a while, making things more visible, and then pulled away into the fog and was quickly gone – disappeared.
The Bonneville Salt Flats
A long train pulling lots of cars behind it along I-70.
A very idyllic place I found that I shall leave unnamed. If you find it, enjoy, and please keep it safe.

Moab

Those were taken along a beautiful trail right before the Slickrock entrance.

Rifle, Colorado

Rifle, Colorado is a small town along highway I-70. There are ice caves when the weather is cold enough at the Rifle Falls State Park, although still it is not cold enough for them to appear.

As always, all opinions are my own. All the best.
