Ice Castles of Midway
Settled in part by Swiss immigrants, Midway contains some scenic vistas, as well as many deliberate Swiss styled buildings and houses. The valley it sits in is surrounded by some amazing peaks of the Wasatch mountain range including nearby Timpanogos mountain.
This is an attraction that pulls in many visitors during the winter months. You could definitely call the ice structures art, as they are creations of Brent Christensen, a local artist and the one responsible for the ice castles. He's been doing it for several years now, and has pulled off some impressive structures that you can view from all angles, as well as being able to walk into and through some of them.
We went a couple months ago and made an enjoyable day of it. My wife took most all of these shots. Afterwards we had lunch at little Mexican resturaunt where I had some of the yummiest Mexican food of my life. In fact I would consider them artists as well. If you're ever in Midway Utah, stop in to Tarahumara Comida Mexicano. You will be glad you did. They have a salsa bar that amazed and rocked my taste buds ;)
