California Condors, Wow!

On Friday we drove a 40 mile dirt road near Kanab, UT and came across a California Condor viewpoint.  While there we met a guy that works for the Peregrine Fund, saving the California Condors.  While there we did see them on the cliffs, but they were really far away.  Our new friend said that we needed to go to the Navajo Bridge in the morning to see them up close. So, today we drove early to the Navajo Bridge...holy cow...the condors were everywhere!  The California Condor is one of the rarest birds in the world. It is the largest flying…

Tuesday we had an appointment with Dave Wilson Toyota to have 20K service done on the Tundra; again a…

After searching for a several…

Bryce Canyon Hike

Bryce Canyon National Park never disappoints!  Five years ago we visited Bryce and experienced the Canyon via horseback.  This visit, we experienced the canyon on foot; WOW!  Walking in the canyon among the hoodoos and colors is simply spectacular. The featured picture is near the end of the hike on the Navajo Loop and from the bottom looking up it was a CRAZY sight and a CRAZY climb!  Every turn in this canyon is like a fantasy land with tunnels, tight walls, beautiful shapes. The Queen’s Garden trail begins at the rim and descends about 320’ to the famous Queen…
