If you are in the vicinity of Monument Valley, do not miss this short trip over to Gooseneck. It's really amazing to see a river twist and turn this much, carving out these three prominent structures, the "goosenecks". Off in the distance on the horizon, you can make out the start of Monument Valley and its buttes.
You can see all the pictures and videos of the Sydney Opera House, but still not be able to take in and stand in awe of its architecture. Let alone just the history of it being built, and that it almost never completed, is a testament unto itself. Highly recommend the guided docent tour of the Opera House. You'll get to visit each of the 7 performance venues that include; the Concert Hall, the Opera Theatre, Playhouse, Drama Theatre, The Studio, the Forecourt and the Utzon Room.
The trees that live in Bryce Canyon are a thing of wonder, almost fairytale like in their structure, clinging to life on the edge of canyon, with sparse foliage barely making it. It is almost like the tree just wants to give up but the roots have another plan.
