Our President, Lynn Farrell’s travels recently took her to Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon — two dazzling gems that prove you don’t have to leave the country for a jaw dropping experience.
Zion National Park: A Hiker’s Paradise
Imagine towering red cliffs, deep canyons, and vibrant sandstone formations stretching endlessly under the blazing sun. Zion is a dream come true for hikers of all levels. Whether you want a gentle riverside stroll or an adrenaline-pumping trek up Angels Landing, Zion offers it all. Picture walking through a natural cathedral carved by the Virgin River, surrounded by desert bighorn sheep and colorful birds. Plus, there are streams and pools perfect to cool off after a hot, adventurous day—even when temperatures hit 100 degrees!
Bryce Canyon: Nature’s Own Skyscrapers
Arriving just in time for sunset, Lynn was mesmerized by Bryce’s famous hoodoos—these spireshaped rock formations look like skyscrapers painted in radiant reds, oranges, and pinks. Sunset here is nothing short of magical, offering photographers and nature lovers a surreal spectacle that feels otherworldly.
