View of the Grand Canyon from a helicopter. I can only imagine the wonder experienced by explorers coming out of the trees and seeing the beauty of the canyon

Missouri's Johnson Shut-Ins State Park 06/21. When the water level is not too high it is a natural water park with slides, waterfalls, and potholes. Good hiking in the area too.

Baby bear in the wild in Grand Teton National Park. While taking this picture, it occurred to me that we couldn't see mama bear. High tailed it out of there. #GrandTetonNationalPark

Exploring the Rim Trail in Grand Canyon National Park. We saw fewer than 10 people walking between shuttle stops. Best way to get away from the crowd without going into the canyon. #GrandCanyon

Canyon Overlook in #Zion. When I was a pre-teen, my dad wanted a picture of me at the top. So he left me here, drove down to the switchback, and took the picture. Different times.

This is Ziggy Stardust. We're not sure if she's a boy or a girl. She does not play guitar.

Spending some time with my son on the Rim Trail at the Grand Canyon. Highly recommend the Rim Trail to get away from the crowd. We saw maybe 10 people in the 3 miles that we walked. #GrandCanyon #NationalParks

Thirty years ago, dad and I saw fewer people than this during our entire walk in the Narrows at Zion National Park. I would estimate there were at least 2000 people in the river when this picture was taken in June 2024 #ZionNationalPark

Sapphire Pool in Yellowstone National Park. This is where my 6 year old son realized he could read the signs. He then proceeded to excitedly run to each sign and read them out loud.
