Holiday Type / Luxury Travel: All-time Favourites - National Parks

Utah, what a mixed-up, wild-grass, skyblown, open-road, rock-hewn hinterland it is. Rocks spewed out of the earth like furious lava-whales gasping for air, rocks like soaring layers of the multi-millenium past become immediate and mighty present; rocks melted like candles; rocks like glowing messages from another world; rocks like our world gone inside out and belly up. But for all its drama, Utah is quiet. It's quiet at Mom's Café in Salina, just the shuffle of the waitress' shoes as she brings fries in a red plastic basket; quiet in Zion National Park where the rainbows come double-trouble, horizon to horizon; quiet in Lake Powell, the flooded canyon like a silver-turquoise cat languorously stretching into every tiny crag. Suddenly, at Monument Valley, the fork lightning strikes the orange earth like notes being played on a crazy piano, thrilled and busy. But then, as soon again, the moon is out, chasing the storm-player away. The sun has set, the fire is crackling, a dog barks and there is steak fizzing on the grill.
