It's a love story that spanned generations and sparked a new one — thanks to one Utah gem: Bryce Canyon.
BRYCE CANYON, Utah — Decades after two people met at one of Utah's natural gems and built a life together, their granddaughter had a milestone moment in her story there.“It was the year I graduated from high school and I had been hired by the Utah Parks Company to work down at Bryce Canyon,” recalled 81-year-old Elva Orton.
They were two years apart when Steve was on a mission trip in Australia. They wrote letters to each other. Elva has saved every one of them.When Steve came back, they reunited where their story began. “It’s a pretty important part of our story,” said Steve and Elva’s granddaughter, Paige Orton. “Bryce Canyon is just like the most romantic place in the world in my brain because that’s where my grandparents met, so there must be something magical going on down there.”“The most romantic proposal that I ever could have asked for,” said Paige.
In 2017, Steve passed away. Elva compiled all their memories and their love story in a binder to hold on to forever. It had pictures from their courtship, working together at Bryce Canyon and then Zion, their wedding, 7 kids, 17 grandchildren, family trees, and all their memories in between.
