Yesterday Barbara, Toby and I took the short drive, east, to the Cedar Breaks National Monument. This is a small but beautiful park. We didn’t get to see a lot of the park because, unfortunately, most of the hiking trails are still covered with snow. It is comprised of the same rock formation, the ClaronContinue reading “Cedar Breaks National Monument”

Yesterday our good friends Kathy and Shane took Barbara and I to the Toroweap overlook on the north rim of the Grand Canyon.  This is not and easy vantage point to get to.  There are only three roads you can take to get there and all of them are unpaved and require four wheel driveContinue reading “Toroweap”

Two nights ago I got up at 1:30am to try my hand at capturing the Milky Way. With the first lens I tried I was unable to get a clear focus, so I switched lenses. With my second lens I was able to get a clear focus, but since it was a telephoto lens IContinue reading “Late Night Photography”

This morning Barbara, Toby and I visited nearby Kolob Canyon. Kolob Canyon is part of Zion National Park (NP). This is a beautiful but small park that most people who visit it can see the entire area in about an hour. It’s scenic drive is only five miles long. But if you really want toContinue reading “Kolob Canyon”

Recently, Barbara, Toby and I visited Bryce Canyon National Park. This is a beautiful park with its multicolored rock, hoodoo’s, canyon walls, windows and stunning vistas. The rocks, the Clarion Formation, that make up Bryce Canyon were formed approximately 50 million years ago in shallow lakes that covered the region. When the Colorado Plateau beganContinue reading “Bryce Canyon National Park”

Currently Barbara and I are staying at the Indian Peaks RV park just south of Cedar City, Utah. This is a no frills park, located on Cedar Band Tribal land, with great views of the surrounding areas, hiking trails and is not far from two national parks and two national monuments, Bryce Canyon, Zion, CedarContinue reading “Indian Peaks”

Yesterday our friends Kathy and Shane took Barbara and me on a tour of the countryside west of Cedar City, Utah. Shane has spent most of his life in southern Utah so he knows the area and its history well. As most of us know, the western portion of the US received abundant precipitation thisContinue reading “God’s Country”

Today I finally got a chance to get out and stretch my legs a little, explore the area and take some photos. I took a short drive from the RV park to the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. In the park I was able to take the truck on a short but enjoyable 4WDContinue reading “Sand Dune Arch”

This weekend at Lake Minden there are a bunch of “Big Boys” with expensive toys playing. They brought there remote control model airplanes to the lake for some flying fun. Even though these are big boys, they’re not very friendly. I tried to strike up a conversation with several of them without any success. IContinue reading “Fly n Float”

Recently I took a walk around the RV park, where we’re staying, in search of wildlife to photograph. I can’t say this is the best place to take photos of wildlife, but it’s not bad. Even though Lake Minden sits along the Pacific Flyway and migratory birds are currently flying north for the summer, thereContinue reading “Lake Minden”
