Mini-tour Day 23

We packed up early this morning and headed off to the Young Living Oils facility at Mona, which is just 30 mins south of Provo, and on our way to Bryce Canyon.



The treatment we received from the Young Living staff was amazing. They sent someone out from their Corporate Headquarters in Salt Lake City to escort us around the facility whilst the person who actually runs the production facility gave us a tour of the entire place. We saw how they grow the herbs from seed in their glasshouses, plant them in their fields, extract the oils etc. Of couse Janine went shopping in the outlet on site :-)



Leaving there we headed off the main highway so as to see more of the countryside. The interstate highways here are great if you are in a hurry, but we try to avoid them so as to see the smaller towns, and get more into the countryside. Then you get to see things like this...



The further south we travelled the more the landscape changed, until we started heading towards Red Canyon.



Amazingly enough there was a lot of snow in the canyon - however we were at 7800' at the summit of the canyon!

I was amazed by the canyon itself, I'd never seen anything like it. Absolutely beautiful.



The diversity of nature on display here has to be seen to be believed, so many different ways of expressing its magnificence.

We arrived here at the campground before dark. It amazes me that we are literally in the middle of a canyon, a long way from any towns, and here I am on the internet!

Tomorrow is another rest day, more trading and tai chi study, and what an outlook I have to do that.
