Off Roading at the North Rim

We decided we'd go off and explore some of the BLM logging roads around the North Rim and see what we could see.

Some more color. We can't get enough of it!


It calls out follow me...and we did!


Look at the base of the tree and you will see a "Black Squirrel" with a "White Tail". They only exist at the North Rim.


Just a lookout.


Another meadow with great color.


What we look like.


A look out from the Arizona trail.

Zion Day 2

We went into the park again today. I am so glad we're here for 3 full days. The trails and views are magnificent. Almost to the narrows. Falcon above the ridge. Joanne with erosion  as a backdrop. The Virgin River cutting away! Just two great shots of Joanne with the river and cuts. It was so beautiful. The Virgin river cutting thru the canyon. You can see the tan stone that broke away. It is "new" to the eye. The dark stone is "old" stone it is covered in desert varnish. Mother natures parallel lines a few million years apart. OMG Just another view that takes your breath away. Baby Diamond Back Rattler. Our first snake. He'll still make you sick if he bites you. Male Mule deer from the right of the bus. His buddy hanging out on the left side of the bus. Almost center a pair of climbers in Big Bend. Sand stone (white) from the dunes that formed in the background...

Moving Day on to Capital Reef

We woke up to rain. First time in a long time.  We're glad it isn't snow and hope it isn't snowing in the mountains over near Capital Reef. We have one summit along the way that's 9,600 feet so it might be snowing up there.  Still raining up on the Hog Back but a little road work. In PA you worry about deer. In Utah you worry about "Open Range" cattle. Take it easy partner.
