Here is the view from our tent at the campground just outside Zion NP, where we stayed 3 nights: Not too shabby! – Meredith

There is an overlook at Bryce Canyon NP named Sunset Point and a trail down into the canyon named Navajo Loop begins there. As we stood there at sunset taking a few pictures, we noticed a guy pushing a stroller up the trail. Here’s the long view of him on the trail. He’s roughly in […]

Bryce Canyon NP is a beautiful park that we did a decent job of visiting in 24 hours.  We got photos at sunset, sunrise, and a really fun 3-mile hike while we were there.  Here are some pictures: A broad shot of the Bryce Canyon "amphitheater" at sunrise.  Dave was really happy there were interesting […]

Here is the view from our tent at the campground at Bryce Canyon NP:   We only stayed one night, but it was the nicest setting for our tent so far. – Meredith

We had a blast at Lake Powell – we’ll definitely come back here!  Here are a few pictures from our time in the area (other than previously posted pics of Slot Canyons and Coyote Buttes): Lake Powell and Me The full moon over the canyon near our campground The Colorado River at an old ferry […]

While we were in Page, we went to Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons, two separate canyons created by the Antelope River (it only runs sometimes; the rest of the time it’s bone dry).  First, I’d like to say that if you ever have an opportunity to go to a slot canyon, take it!  You need […]

In Meredith’s last post, she mentioned how I got lucky and obtained a permit to hike in Coyote Buttes North to go see The Wave. I guess I didn’t realize how lucky I was until I spoke with a few people who had been turned down. There was the guy who walked into the BLM […]

There’s a place on the Utah/Arizona border called Coyote Buttes that is a natural wonder and a very productive spot for photographers.  The site is protected and managed by the Bureau of Land Management.  They allow just 20 visitors per day.  Half the visitors reserve their spot months in advance online, and the other half […]

We’re camping again!  This is the view from our tent at the campground at Lake Powell in Arizona near the Utah border: It’s beautiful here – there is so much to do!  We were only going to stay for three nights, but we extended to four nights because this place is like a playground. – […]

We have recovered from the bad attitude we adopted while in Monument Valley, and have decided that we shouldn’t have taken our frustration out on our tent.  In fact, we *need* that tent for the rest of the trip, so, we hope the tent accepts our apologies. – Dave and Meredith PS – we couldn’t […]
