Night Blooming Cereus

Night Blooming Cereus

These beauties open for one night, during the summer months, then die. They grow on a cactus that looks like a dead stick.

Once night a year, during the summer months, Tohono Chul opens it's doors free to the public to witness the opening of the Night Blooming Cereus, otherwise known as "The Queen of the Night".

These fragrant flowers bloom from a cactus that looks like a dead stick, for only one night, then they die. On Bloom Night, dozens to hundreds of these flowers bloom and the park opens with food, entertainment, and luminaria lit paths to the flowers.

Alpine Slide

Alpine Slide

The Alpine slide is located at the Park City Mountain Resort in Park City, Utah. The slide has 4 tracks of curvy downhill concrete, that you need to take a ski lift up to, to get on. Wheeled toboggans line up and riders can race down the slide! It is a rush and loads of fun!
