On Sunday we drove up to Bryce Resort and also visited nearby Orkney Springs. It's a gem of a town and when we lived in Bryce, we visited it so often that I gave it a tag which now has over 75 posts.
Most of the buildings there are painted white for some reason. There's a small residential neighborhood, a post office, an old store, and a concert pavilion, but much of the town is a well-preserved old resort that is now owned by the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia. They manage it as a retreat center and youth camp known as Shrine Mont.
Painted Rocks are in vogue. |
