Death Valley, CA; Zion Canyon, UT; Bryce Canyon, UT

This is a sand storm we experienced long Utah Hwy 24 southwest of Green River, UT. We know it's not like having a Sanford Tornado, but it did make for some tough driving. Petroglyphs in Fruita Valley Utah. We were on our way from Bryce Nat. Park to Moab, UT when we spied these beside the road. Well, there was a sign--we didn't discover them on our own.



Camping at Bryce National Park was interesting. While we were snug in our van under a very large down quilt, a freezing rain covered all the trees--and us--with ice!


Penny trying to take in the panoramic wonders of Bryce Canyon. Notice the very fine oak walking stick. It works great.




A lovely arch under the Bryce Canyon HooDoos.


Here is Bryce National Park in all its glory.

Camping down in Zion Canyon. The sunsets and sunrises were amazing!

Good ol' camper van turned 100,000 miles somewhere near Death Valley. We bought new break pads for her front wheels and she continues to leap round the canyons--happy camper!

  1. Trying to figure out my favorite hiking trail at Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah was not as easy as I thought it was going to be. This may be due to the fact that Bryce Canyon is one of my favorite National Parks in the entire United States, so I enjoyed all the trails. So fortunately, my favorite trail happens to be a combination of two, the Navajo and Queens Garden Trails.
