Fun with the Flintstones

During my solo day of travel, I drove up to the Grand Canyon to capture it during sunrise. On my way back home, I happened upon a curious attraction off the side of the road. The sign said “Welcome to Bedrock City”, and I recognized the character, Fred Flintstone, from my childhood cartoons. I immediately turned in to investigate what this was all about.

As I pulled into the nearly empty parking lot, I couldn’t help but smile at the nostalgic scene before me. Somebody, several years ago, put a lot of effort into recreating the Flintstones TV show, into a real place to visit.

I parked and went inside to check it out. The nice clerk told me a little history of the place, and how it was built over 20 years ago. In it’s heyday there were tens of thousands of visitors every summer. Now, the family owned business struggles to stay open. She was a sweet lady, and waived the $5 entrance fee so I could take a quick sneak peek of the infamous Bedrock City.
