Just Another Sonoran Sunrise
I have said it before and I’ll say it again…. the Arizona desert goes really really well with Colorado. Spring training with the Rockies and for a place close by to beat the cold and snow. Not that Colorado winters are that bad. Especially if you like to play in the snow. Here is a view of my old stomping grounds east of Scottsdale. Out towards Saguaro Lake and Four Peaks. Scenic lush Arizona Sonoran desert view of giant saguaro cactus and the colors in the sky of another beautiful sunrise. Took this on the way out on our Arizona Thanksgiving road trip. Till we meet again!

Rainbow Down
Here is another view and close-up of a rainbow raining down on beautiful Arches National Park in Utah. There were a lot of photogs out on this Sunday. One guy had a huge L lens shooting all over the place… I had to yell at him to turn around to get this before it was gone. He did not even see it. We laughed and he thanked me. It was fun chasing this rainbow around the park to get diffient views of something incredible happening on the landscape. Put this place on your bucket list, well worth the fun and journey.
Humans have occupied the region since the last ice age 10,000 years ago. Fremont people and Ancient Pueblo People lived in the area up until about 700 years ago. Spanish missionaries encountered Ute and Paiute tribes in the area when they first came through in 1775, but the first European-Americans to attempt settlement in the area were the Mormon Elk Mountain Mission in 1855, who soon abandoned the area. Ranchers, farmers, and prospectors later settled Moab in the neighboring Riverine Valley in the 1880s. Word of the beauty of the surrounding rock formations spread beyond the settlement as a possible tourist destination.
The Arches area was first brought to the attention of the National Park Service by Frank A. Wadleigh, passenger traffic manager of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad. Wadleigh, accompanied by railroad photographer George L. Beam, visited the area in September 1923 at the invitation of Alexander Ringhoffer, a Hungarian-born prospector living in Salt Valley. Ringhoffer had written to the railroad in an effort to interest them in the tourist potential of a scenic area he had discovered the previous year with his two sons and a son-in-law, which he called the “Devil’s Garden” (known today as the “Klondike Bluffs”). Wadleigh was impressed by what Ringhoffer showed him, and suggested to Park Service director Stephen T. Mather that the area be made a national monument.

Canyonlands Utah Sunrise
This was one of the last stops on our road trip from Colorado to Arizona and back again through Utah. We ended here at night and woke up to this beautiful scenic landscape.
Canyonlands National Park is located in southeastern Utah near the town of Moab. It preserves a colorful landscape eroded into countless canyons, mesas, and buttes by the Colorado River, the Green River, and their respective tributaries. Legislation creating the park was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson on September 12, 1964
The park is divided into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze, and the rivers themselves. While these areas share a primitive desert atmosphere, each retains its own character. Two large river canyons are carved into the Colorado Plateau by the Colorado River and Green River.
Weird fact: Nineteenth century cowboys corralled wild horses onto today’s Dead Horse Point State Park. Supposedly, one herd left on the point died of thirst.
Scientific fact: Cataract Canyon may be one of the world’s most actively filling canyons. Scientists discovered 260 feet of sediment below the water’s surface.

Bryce Canyon National Park Views
Scenic landscape view into Bryce Canyon National Park. A spectacular place to visit.
Interesting fact: Water, ice, and gravity are the natural forces that formed the geological “hoodoos” that make Bryce Canyon unique.
This park is named after Ebenezer Bryce, who started ranching the area in 1875. Upon showing the canyons to visitors, he is said to have remarked, “It’s a hell of a place to lose a cow.”
Bryce Canyon’s rocks are among the youngest of those on the Colorado Plateau, dating back a mere 65 million years ago to the Cretaceous period.
Cool fact: Most rural parts of the U.S. have 2500 stars visible on any given clear night. At Bryce Canyon, that number jumps to a whopping 7500. Currently, these essential remaining dark night skies are being threatened by mining in the nearby community of Alton. The mining will potentially adversely affect the clear skies. It is a hugely contentious situation.
Geological fact: Bryce Canyon isn’t actually a canyon. It’s actually a natural amphitheater.
Total Area 35,835 acres – Annual Visitation 1,385,352 in 2012 (view all years) – Park Creation Date September 15, 1928 – Entrance Fee $25 per vehicle per week – Time Zone Mountain – Lowest Elevation 6,620 feet at Yellow Creek – Highest Elevation 9,115 feet at Rainbow Point – Lowest Average Temp 9°F in January – Record Low Temp -26°F in 1963 – Highest Average Temp 78°F in July – Record High Temp 98°F in 2002
