The Canyons/Park City & Guardsman Pass

We spent the majority of the day on Saturday, November 7, 2009 driving up through Big/Little Cottonwood Canyons, Park City, and over Guardsman Pass. Xavier is from Bretagne, France.....which is on the beach.....so he's not used to such big, beautiful mountains. He was very excited to get to go up in them and see the beauty up close. These first pictures are in the Canyons. In the first picture, you can see Matt, Tammy, and Xavier climbing up a small waterfall. I was obviously just down below them taking the picture. The second picture is of Tammy and Xavier. I really like this picture of the 2 of them!

I really like the way this picture and the next one show the colors created on the rocks/boulders as the water is cascading down over them.

Since we were up there, we drove up to La Caille Restaurant, which is a very pretty and expensive restaurant up the Canyons. These swans live in the little lake out front.

As we started going up Guardsman Pass, we found snow and Xavier and Tammy had to get out in it and play for a few minutes. Xavier RARELY sees snow......so this really fun and new for him to experience.

As you can see.....Xavier was taking pictures, too! :)

And here is Xavier freezing to death but, yet, he insisted that he didn't need a jacket and that he was fine! :)

Tammy is about to get back in the truck after having a quick snowball fight with Xavier.....

Some pictures up Guardsman Pass.

Here are some pictures of Matt and I up Guardsman Pass.

If you look closely, or click on the picture to blow it up bigger, you can see that there are people parasailing out on the lake. Xavier thought that was pretty cool!!

Here are a couple pictures of one of the many ski lifts in Utah!

We greatly enjoyed showing Xavier and Tammy a small portion of the beauty that this great State has to offer!!
