Personal memory by Ian Sarrica

I remember traveling to Utah every year with my family when I was a kid. Over the years we would go hiking through canyons and soaking in the environment. As time went on, these little spots of nature started to fade. Houses were built, restaurants and other businesses were established. Now what's left are the parks that are under government protection. That's wonderful, however, it's those little spots in between that made it all the more special.
