The Sundance Resort

We made a little detour last week on our way from Park City, Utah back to Zion and stopped at the Sundance Resort. I had heard it was a nice place to visit and I'm a big fan of the Sundance Catalog (I love just about everything in it...unfortanately, it's expensive.). It turned out to be a much shorter detour than we had expected and reallllly beautiful. From the main highway we drove up a canyon that was only wide enough for the two lane road and a river that ran down the side. The air was cool and we could hear the river rushing along as we drove up. It was wonderful! When we got to the resort we couldn't stop taking pictures. There were beautiful things to see in every direction...flowers, butterflies, waterfalls, rivers, art, nice buildings, etc., etc. This little outdoor shop was the first thing we checked out. The bikes are so colorful and I love the rustic look of the building...


This is one of the many flowers in the gorgeous landscaping...


We found a butterfly struggling in a spider web on the ground and resuced it. It clumsily flew up into this bush where I took it's picture. It's wings are a bit tattered around the edges but it's still so pretty...


There were a lot of big yellow butterflies. They were gorgeous! This one landed in the parking lot and right after I took this picture it climbed on my finger for a brief second. It felt so soft and delicate. It was awesome!...


I was so excited to visit the General Store and maybe...just maybe...splurge on something that I've been eying in the catalog. Unfortunately, they didn't have much in the store that is in the catalog and I didn't find anything I couldn't live without. So, I left with free and wonderful souvenirs of memories and pictures. Maybe someday I'll have the opportunity to visit one of their catalog stores and be able to see some of their items in person, try things on, and pick something out for myself.

On every trip I go on I look for local yarn shops and stop in for a visit whenever possible. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a single yarn shop on this whole trip. I looked in the phone books where we stayed and it looked like there were quite a few in Salt Lake City but we weren't able to make it over there. That's probably for the best anyway because I have more than enough yarn to keep me busy for a while. :-)

Stay tuned for pictures and details about last weekend...an adventure of a lifetime! It was spectacular!!!
