Here are some pictures from last weekend taken in Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and Dead Horse Point State Park, all located in Utah. The young people in the pictures are Vietnamese ‘3 + 1’ dual degree students attending Colorado State University for their final year (Phuong, Chi, Thu, and Xuan).  I am glad they got the chance to see this beautiful area while they are in the United States.  Touring Utah in the winter is an experience of solitude and stark beauty.
