Fall in Utah could not be more perfect. Actually if it lasted for more than a few weeks, that would be perfect. But, since I know that all of these stunning fall colors do not last up in those mountains for long, I made it a priority to drive around the Alpine Loop this week (it is one of my absolute favorite things). Seriously, if you live in Utah and have never done this, what is wrong with you? If you live in Utah and you have made this drive in the past, but not this year, I repeat, what is wrong with you? Anyways, here is a little taste of how perfect it was up there...

But, the drive couldn't get off as being totally uneventful. Of course my drive would not have been right without drinking way too much Diet Coke on my way up. Little did I know, this was a big mistake. I figured hey, there's a bathroom up at Cascade Springs, no worries. Wrong. Due to the lovely government shutdown going on right now, me and my desperate need to pee were greeted by this sign...

If you can't read that it says, This U.S. Department of Agriculture facility is currently closed, due to the lapse in federal government funding. The facility will reopen once Congress restores funding.
Thanks a bunches government shutdown. So, all you people who I just advised to drive the alpine loop, until the government can get its act together, maybe don't bring a large Diet Coke with you.....
Regardless I was so happy that I found the time to take this little drive up, especially right before General Conference weekend. I feel so peaceful, and happy, and like I can really think and be close to my Heavenly Father when I am out roaming in nature and enjoying all of earths just incredible creations.
But, I mean also, speaking of General Conference, learn about it, watch it, enjoy it. It really was so fantastic.
peace. love. and fall mountains.
p.s. I don't know if I am really proud of myself, or really disappointed with myself that I didn't take one selfie when I was up there??
