On day three, just Barbara and I traveled to Norris Geyser Basin, Mammoth Hot Springs, Tower Falls, around Mt. Washburn to Gibbon Falls. On this day we finally saw some wildlife. I have been to Yellowstone National Park more than ten times and this is the fewest animals I have ever seen. However, this isContinue reading “Yellowstone National Park (Day 3)”

Yellowstone National Park (Day 2)
On day two we took a bus tour along the Madison River, the Midway Geyser Basin, the Upper Geyser Basin, which includes Old Faithful, along the west shore of Yellowstone Lake, and up to Artist Point in the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and the Lower Falls.
Yellowstone National Park (Day 1)
Recently, Barbara, Ellie, and I got the pleasure of exploring Yellowstone National Park (YNP). There’s no way you can see this park in one day, so we did our exploring over a period of three days, and that is how I’m going to break it down here. The first day, the three of us exploredContinue reading “Yellowstone National Park (Day 1)”
Cedar Breaks National Monument
This past Monday, Barbara, Ellie, and I traveled east across the Hurricane Fault to the Cedar Breaks National Monument. The Hurricane Fault is normal, strike-slip fault that separates the Basin and Range Geomorphic Provenance, to the west, from the Colorado Plateau, to the east. Cedar Breaks sits at the top of the Grand Staircase andContinue reading “Cedar Breaks National Monument”
Kolob Canyon
Last week, Barbara, Ellie, and I took a short drive to Kolob Canyon. Kolob Canyon is part of Zion National Park, but is a 45-minute drive north of the south entrance to Zion, but is well worth the detour. The Kolob Canyon Scenic Drive is only five miles long, but the beauty of the redContinue reading “Kolob Canyon”
Sedona Rocks
On Wednesday, Barbara and I dropped Ellie off at the groomer to get a bath, brush, nails trimmed, and teeth brushed. While Ellie was getting cleaned up, we checked out the rock formations surrounding Sedona. If you have ever been to Sedona Arizona you know about the beautiful rock formations that surround the town. TheseContinue reading “Sedona Rocks”
The Grand Canyon
This past Tuesday, Barbara, Ellie, and I travelled north to the Grand Canyon. Even though Barbara and I have been here before, numerous times, we never seem to get tired of it. In fact, I have spent close to 50 days in the Grand Canyon and have studied it a lot. On this trip, weContinue reading “The Grand Canyon”
Lake Conroe
Well the rain finally stopped. For the past two days we have had to stay inside because Mother Nature was unhappy and she was dumping a lot of water on us. This morning, I grabbed my camera and Ellie and I took a walk down to the lake. We found a Great Blue Heron, anContinue reading “Lake Conroe”
The View from Verde Valley
As some of you may have noticed, for several months now, I have not been able to get out and do any serious hiking, take many photos or post to my blog. I have spent most of my time making repairs to the trailer, the weather hasn’t cooperated, and Barbara recently had eye surgery. However,Continue reading “The View from Verde Valley”
Lake of the Springs
Over the past few months Barbara and I have been having repairs made to our trailer as well as myself making additional repairs that the manufacturer didn’t do or happened later. It has been a frustrating and difficult time for us and due to this I have not been able to do any hiking andContinue reading “Lake of the Springs”
