Rec'd on 🏟️ 2/25: INTERESTING PLACES TO VISIT IN YOUR CITY

Peak weird Mormon art and generally strange vibe. There are definitely cooler places to see in SLC but this one is unlike any other.

theres something so alien, otherworldly, and charming about West Texas the Chinati Foundation was the highlight - on a flat desert plain you can see 15 of Donald Judd’s impressive slabs of minimalist concrete art. something about this place is semi religious or ritually tinged, walking up to the site and being greeted at the gates and being driven down to the site of the gallery in a golf cart. immersive is an understatement here, you literally are in a gallery surrounded by elk, rattlesnakes, scorpions, and wild boar. there’s an emergency number to call if anything goes awry.

MONUMENT VALLEY

Sometimes we forget how beautiful the world is until we go out and find the beauty. Recently visited Monument Valley, and wow. It is insane on how differently perceived it is from a screen, as to how it truly is in person. Recommend it!🤙

I had always wanted to see this and also knew it would be tough to convince anyone to drive 2ish hours north of Salt Lake City with me to see a pile of rocks. I was in Wyoming for a wedding a few summers ago and that was my chance for a solo trip. Rented a car and drove in the middle of July in the hot hot desert. I had the place to myself. Highly rec solo trips in general because it removes worrying about if other people are enjoying it. Some people might think this was lame as hell and a dusty bumpy car ride but I cried tears of joy!
