Southern Utah and Zion National Park

Last weekend we drove to the new Aman Resort that opened in October 2009. Amangiri is 60 miles east of Kanab, UT and 10 miles north of Page, AZ. It's very isolated yet very beautiful desert.

About the Amangiri architecture, "Architecturally, the resort has been designed to blend into the landscape with natural hues, materials and textures a feature of the design. The structures are commanding and in proportion with the scale of the natural surroundings, yet provide an intimate setting from which to view and appreciate the landscape." You'll notice there are a lot of sharp edges and corners. They represent the slot canyons found in this area.

On our way home we visited Zion National Park. Our first time we've seen it covered by winter snow.

Get a cup of hot chocolate and enjoy the photos.
