Skiing In Utah:
Utah is a great place to take a skiing vacation, regardless of your skiing abilities or experience. With a number of world class ski resorts, Utah boasts some of North America’s best skiing, and prides itself on having ‘the best snow on earth’. But don’t take my word for it – get out there and experience the magic of skiing in Utah for yourself! With such high quality resorts, and truly amazing snow coverage and texture, Utah is an excellent location for your skiing vacation.
If you’re looking for a choice of resorts, but you don’t want to venture too far from home, Utah is definitely the place for you. Its fine, powdery snow can be experienced through most of the year, and you’d be simply mad not to visit Utah at some point if you’re a skiing enthusiast like me. One of the premier resorts in Utah is the Deer Valley Resort.....

How I spent 1 day in Kars
I recently spent an unforgettable day in Kars, Turkey, and it was packed with history, culture, and stunning landscapes. I started my day with a visit to the Ani Ruins, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The ancient city, with its impressive churches and city walls, offered a glimpse into the past and breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
Next, I headed to Kars Castle, perched on a hill overlooking the city. The climb was worth it for the panoramic views of Kars and the Aras River. After exploring the castle, I visited the Kümbet Mosque, originally a church, showcasing the rich cultural tapestry of the region.
For lunch, I enjoyed some local cuisine at a charming restaurant in the city center. The flavors of Kars cheese and honey were delightful. In the afternoon, I strolled along the Kars River and relaxed in the nearby park, soaking in the serene atmosphere.
I ended my day with a visit to the Kars Museum, where I learned more about the city’s history and its role in various historical events. The exhibits were fascinating and well-curated.
Overall, my day in Kars was a perfect blend of exploration and relaxation, leaving me with wonderful memories of this unique city.

Amangiri, the loneliest hotel in the world, surrounded by the vast walls of the desert.
Actually not lonely at all haha, the hotel staff is abundant and enthusiastic. Unique and lonely is its peculiar geographical location.
In the dreamy rock desert of Utah, USA, within a radius of 20 miles, everything belongs to the most beautiful Aman in the world.
The hotel was developed in 2005, and all buildings are integrated with desert rocks, natural and simple yet exquisite.
Transportation: If you want to go directly to the hotel after getting off the plane, it is best to fly to the small town of Paige where there will be a special car to pick you up, which is also the easiest way.
Room type: Terrace Suite with views of the desert and mesa, including an outdoor balcony. Although Amangiri is large in size, there are only 34 suites, so it is recommended to book in advance during holidays.
Food: Hotel food and drinks are all-inclusive.
(Food except for alcohol) The ingredients for the food provided during breakfast, lunch, dinner, and all day are also air-flown, but the taste of the dishes is heavily influenced by Thai cuisine! Many of them are spicy and sour, which is a bit confusing, but I still ate a lot.
Feature: Over 2000 square meters of spa and outdoor swimming pool.
You can get close to appreciate the rocks from one billion years ago transformed into a circular swimming pool (Figure 3).
The hotel offers activities such as hiking and horseback riding that can be booked in advance.
The beauty is indescribable, as if it merges with nature and is surrounded by the vast Gobi and countless stars, falling asleep.

Red Canyon Park
Red Canyon Park is part of the Dixie National Forest Park, located next to the beautiful Highway 12 scenic drive in Utah. You can enjoy the drive and appreciate the scenery, and it is very close to Bryce Canyon Park.

Bryce Canyon National Park is about an hour's drive from Zion National Park. For self-driving travelers who have already arrived in Zion, this road is completely lightweight. In contrast, the Bryce Canyon Park is small in size and is simply a geological bonsai filled with colorful sandstone. The park management party arranged a shuttle bus to the scenic spots in the small town outside the canyon. The trails in the park are generally 5-6 kilometers away. Arrange a day to take a walk in the colored sand rock forest. Look at the sunset, you can count the completion of the punch. From personal experience, the sunrise here can be ignored.
OO-OO.
Like the Net Red Park in Antelope Valley, the coral pink sand dunes state park in Kanab, Utah, USA, hh/Canabu Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, Utah, just found the net red punching card next to the sand dunes. The feeling is that the red canyons are flowing in the canyon, and the sun is shining in the canyon. When the ATV in the sand dunes rides in the vast pink sand dunes, don't miss the net red punch card!

High Temperature Death Valley and Trekking Bryce Park
Americans use the words hot, dry, and low to describe the landscape of Death Valley. In summer, the maximum temperature can reach more than 50 degrees, so in order to prevent puncture, the death valley in the hot summer season is inaccessible. There are also hiking trails, you can see the "walking stones", the specific opening hours should consult the visitor center, after all, hiking here is not a joke. On both sides of the "Death Valley" canyon, the cliff is a cliff, the terrain is very sinister. It is also the hottest and driest area in North America. It doesn't rain all the year round. Every time there is heavy rain, the hot place will easily rush into the mud, and there is also the "dead crater." It is said that the notoriety of "Death Valley" was not proclaimed until 150 years ago. In the 19th century, a gold rushing team to Jinshan copied shortcuts across the valley. Because of the bad weather in this area, the innocent yellow sand was added to the pile. A few people who successfully crossed the valley said sadly when they left the place, "Goodbye Death Valley", which was named after Death Valley. Bryce Canyon National Park is located in the southwestern part of Utah, on the north bank of the Colorado River. The canyon is a huge natural amphitheatre composed of many unique rock pillars. The pillars are composed of wind, water and ice erosion in the river and sedimentary rocks in the lake bed. They are more than 60 shades of red, red, yellow and white. Different colors, plus light changes, color and gold flow. The hiking route here is also 2 hours, just around the bottom of the valley, not going back. The viewing platform is not far from the visitor center, and the road will also see the deer who are not afraid of human freedom. The viewing platform has a straight road to the bottom of the valley and is well recognizable. In fact, it is a bit like Cappadocia in Turkey. At sunset, the golden glory of the summit is not to be missed!

Bryce Canyon National Park after snow hike
tickets: 35 per car, such as going to three national parks above recommended national park year card.
Utah's five major national parks, where the highest altitude, the lowest temperature, and the largest amount of snowfall. Every January, locals like to go to the park for snowshoeing. The most amazing scenery is the Bryce Canyon National Park after the snow. The core landscape in the park is a stone tower or stone pillar that has been eroded into large pieces like ghosts. The wind with the thick sandstone, the freezing and ablation of the water droplets carved the colored rock into a strange form, creating the grand scene of the Bryce Canyon. The sunrise at sunset point is beautiful and beautiful. There are a number of trails of different difficulty lengths to choose from. It is recommended to consult the visitor center to get the map~

Snowy Days, the Canyon Line, is ten times more beautiful than usual.
Through the farthest Grand Canyon Loop, stay in the final finale and meet the most beautiful Bryce Canyon National Park. Daylight and snow-capped mountains, white and orange-red as the main color, green is embellished
crossing Zion National Park back to Las Vegas, returning to the city after a visual feast Life is a bit unaccustomed.
is the feeling of being on the road, the freedom of relaxation brought by road trips, and the surprise of the next intersection, which is the most nostalgic in the distance.

Bryce Canyon National Park is known as the natural stone sarcophagus. It is located in the southwestern part of Utah, USA. After thousands of years of weathering, it has formed a unique natural wonder.
Inside the red, orange and white rocks, as if the natural terracotta warriors emerged from the ground, resolutely stood like a group of mountains and seas, like the loneliness of the group.
The various pillars of different depths and magnificent rock pillars can be called the magic of nature, and the beauty is breathtaking!

For Bryce, I really don't feel it...
Although a large piece of bamboo shoot-like stone pillars are quietly standing between the heavens and the earth, there are forests and stone forests in Yunnan...
and this park, If you really want to go shopping, you have to walk on foot~
Anyway, I think this park is very difficult to shoot~ Bryce Canyon National Park is a national park in southwestern Utah. Although the name has the word canyon, it is not a true canyon, but a huge natural amphitheatre that has been eroded along the eastern side of the Pangsangtang Plateau.
