Dreaming at Dreamwalk Park
One visitor of Dreamwalk Park described it as: “If Willy Wonka, Star Wars, and Pandora's Avatar had a baby, this place would be the child.” And that’s just scratching the surface. Located in the center of Orem, Utah, lies an entire world all fitting within just 50,000 square feet (4,645 meters).

However, on recent trips I have found it harder to find the watercolor paintings I’m looking for, so I’ve started keeping my own sketch journal of my favorite sights.
