Heres a state park on 12. Millions of years ago it was a forest. Sometimes the trees fell and were buried. Some time ago a nearby volcano erupted, adding tons of minerals to the soil. This madeMeer informatie
Restaurant

This place was built in the 30s as a dance hall and gas pump. It was sold postwar to a family that made it a restaurant and added motel rooms soon after.

I was thinking that it would be hot out there but 63 isn't hot. 44 and raining here. The usually wrong weatherman said we could get snow last night. But as usual he was wrong.
Stephen JuhlinHi, Matt--Mom here. I once saw a program about Bryce. The commentator said that he thought Bryce was more stunning than the Grand Canyon & that people often miss Bryce in favor of the G.C. Your pics are fabulous. However, I was getting vertigo just looking.
Bryce Canyon

Bryce was a guy. Canyon is incorrect, there isn't one. Its a part of "The Grand Staircase". These are 3 geological plateaus all related on a very large scale. Bryce is the highest elevation. Zion is aMeer informatie

I had the idea to take video while moving to see if it would help people understand better what I'm photographing.
Road to Zion

The road that connects to Zion from the east is stupendous. It was made in the 20s to dazzle visitors on their way to the new park (before it was a national park.) It runs along cliffs and throughMeer informatie

I forgot. I've seen plenty of animals to this point, like cranes, hawks, mule deer, salamanders... there were mountain goats by the road here. I didn't get a picture of them because I've been in aMeer informatie

Zion is pretty much one road through the length of the canyon. Their shuttle has recorded narration when going outbound and tells you about the geology (limestone), people (Mormons), and wildlifeMeer informatie

A ride with Dudley
15 mei 2019, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
This is Dudley the mule. I was lucky to get a last minute opening for a mule ride. Too bad it wasn't the longer ride down into the canyon.

You look happier than Dudley !! But he as the feed bag on and it's hard to smile when your eating.
Sedona

I've heard from multiple people that Sedona is really beautiful. The landscape is inspiring. In the north there is a road that goes into the mountains. Its much cooler, full of national forestMeer informatie
New bridge in front of Hoover Dam

This is the brand new highway bridge. 4 lanes of semi traffic no longer have to wind down a canyon and over the top of the dam.

I like Art Deco buildings. I got to poke my head in Chrysler when I was working in Manhattan. Its an icon of art deco opulence. The last video is the neighborhood behind the hotel I used that day.
Red Rock Canyon

This is right outside vegas. Some federal department built a 13 mile road up to these mountains. Its a great ride and great views. Pic 6 is native american graffiti aka petroglyphs.

The system that keeps the camera from shaking works well. Makes it a pleasure to watch a moving video !

I wonder how the rangers keep all the aholes from chipping these beautiful treasures.

Wow says Mom. Those flowers almost look like poppies! Beautiful!
