Park City (Part 3)

After our action-packed day at the Park City Mountain Resort, we started off Thursday with a low-key visit to the Swaner EcoCenter. One of Dave's high school friends messaged him when she saw we were in Utah and said that we should stop by because her husband designed the building - and it's one of the greenest buildings in the U.S. There were some fun educational things to do inside, then we took a stroll along their preserve. We saw two giant cranes who walked in front of us for a couple of minutes, squawking up a storm, as well as some pretty red-winged blackbirds.


When we told the woman working there that we wanted to find a beautiful spot near water to hike, she told us about Bloods Lake. This was definitely the hot tip of the week! She drew us a little map, then off we went to Guardsman's Pass. We parked there and walked down to a gorgeous little spot.

Albert Einstein said, "Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." And I think that sums up this picture perfectly.

We finished our day at a lovely little restaurant called 501 on Main. We sat outside and Spencer discovered that he loves lobster bisque. It was a magnificent day!


Next up: Mirror Lake and more.
