The Mormon Tabernacle Choir rehearsal is open to the public, and held Thursday nights from 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The rehearsal is normally held at the tabernacle in Temple Square, but during the month of December it’s held at the LDS Conference Center to accommodate larger crowds.

Draper Temple Tour
It’s not every day that one has an opportunity to tour an LDS temple. In fact, there are only 129 of them in the world, and once they are dedicated they are closed to the general public. For members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, temples are sacred houses of the Lord and only the holiest members of the Church are admitted once the temple has been consecrated. While LDS temples can be found all over the globe, it is rare that we have an opportunity to see inside them–but here in Utah, the Draper Temple is offering public open house tours through March 14, 2009. The temple is scheduled to be dedicated March 20-22, 2009.
Utah’s Scenic Byway 12
According to www.scenicbyway12.com, the Federal Highway Administration has designated Utah’s Scenic Byway 12 as an All-American Road, with such extraordinary features that it’s considered one of the most unique drives in America. Only a few byways achieve this status, making it, in my humble opinion, a must-see if you live in Utah.

Celebrating the Chinese New Year at the Riverwoods–Provo
On a routine shopping trip to The Riverwoods on Saturday, we stumbled upon a fun event: a Chinese New Year celebration. This family-friendly celebration was totally free and open to the public. We showed up about 4 p.m. and had missed story time at Borders Books, but had plenty of time to enjoy free craft activities (masks and dragons) and a fantastic performance by Chinese Dragon Dancers from a local Kung Fu studio.
Bryce Canyon National Park
I’ve visited my share of national parks, and Bryce Canyon is one of my favorites. Its concentration of pink and red rock “hoodoos”–oddly shaped pinnacles of rock shaped by millions of years of erosion–are the spectacular highlight of the park, and add an air of mystery and splendor to the landscape. The Paiute Indians [...]
Celebrity Watching at Sundance Film Festival–Park City
Sure, we all know Sundance is about the films—but let’s be honest, it’s just as much about the celebrity sightings, and who can blame us? It’s fun! Tip: be courteous, patient, and alert–and dress warmly.
Woodbury Art Museum in Orem
I bet most of you already knew that there was an art museum in the University Mall, but I was shocked when I found out. I’d lived here for probably three years and been to that mall countless times, but I’d never seen it. Well, today (after I’ve been living here for over five [...]
Bryce Canyon National Park Visitor’s Center & Museum
This is the first post in a series about visiting Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks.
The visitor center at Bryce Canyon National Park is pretty impressive, so I thought it deserved the first post. Unlike many visitor centers which serve mainly as gift shops or a place to pick up a park map, this [...]
Pioneer Book - Provo
A book is like a garden carried in the pocket. ~Chinese Proverb
Those ever-wise Chinese were on to something. Books are the ever-new, wonderful, paper-bound time machines that take us to untold, uncountable places. My wife thinks there ought to at least be some moderation to the acquisition of them, which is why my [...]
