    Canyon Lands

    That's something to think about. I recall waking up after being knocked unconscious from a fall. The pain was horrible when I woke up, but I laid there and moved my fingers and toes, then my wrists and ankles, then my knees and elbows and finally my hip, neck and back. Other than being...

    Canyon Lands

    I tend to go off trail to capture views that can only come through going off trail. And more than a few times I have met my match and taken a fall or two. Lucky for the most part to come out with just bruises and shaken ego. I can see my twilight years I'm going to have to be a lot more...

    Canyon Lands

    The bruises are pretty much gone but her orbit is still pretty tender. And will be for a while. All in all she toughed it out pretty darn good. We both crossed our fingers that it wasn't any worse. Becoming senior and falling down is the pits. I took 1800 pictures in 7 days. It took a...

    Canyon Lands

    Next to Zion is Kolab Canyon. Which isn't all that big in itself, but it is unique and just as beautiful as all the rest of the landscapes. We spent half a day hiking on the rim of this canyon. Terri biffed it, stubbing her toe on a knot and then falling. Breaking the orbit bone of her eye...

    We went to Bryce Canyon next. Which again is awesome and takes your breath away. Quite literally actually. As the rim runs between 8 and 9 thousand feet. The crowd at Bryce was about the same as being at 5th avenue in New York City. It was a big distraction to the beauty of the canyon...

    Canyon Lands

    One part of Zion that you seldom ever hear much about is Pine Creek. It's so much different than the main canyon itself. As it resides on the high terraces about 2000 feet higher. It's the swiss cheese topping to this park. The sandstone landscapes here look more like something out of a...

    Canyon Lands

    Our trip to canyon lands was fascinating. Terri and I enjoyed it so much. We flew to Las Vegas early Saturday morning, rented a car and drove to Zion National Park. We were tramping the trails by noon. The air was pretty clear with a few wispy clouds in the deep blue afternoon sky. The...
