The Rut Is On At Zion
I’ve probably driven the road through the eastside of Zion National Park well over 2,000 times(Was a park ranger there) and had never seen so many Desert Bighorn Sheep as I did the other day. Must of been 40 of them including 10 Rams. It’s the rutting season and seemingly everyone showed up. This was at 7:00 a.m.
These images had an ethereal look to them because the backdrop is Checkerboard Mesa, one of the most scenic sandstone features at Zion. Video to follow.
Surviving The Nastiest Storm I’ve Ever Been In.
Video from monsoon storm that closed Zion National Park on Monday. That caused me to reroute through Northern Arizona and endure the most intense lightning storm I’ve ever seen.

Wildflowers Persist
It’s almost September but wildflowers are remaining relevant in Northern Arizona’s Kaibab National Forest.
Messin With Power Lines
Never knew that power lines could look so graceful against the Southwest Desert landscape.

Who Knew
I’ve lived in the Zion National Park area for the last 16 years but until recently, did not know these 2 interesting artifacts existed nearby. Less than an hours drive are some dinosaur tracks and Native American Indian rock art know as pictographs. Pictographs are painted onto the rock and petroglyphs are carved into the sandstone.
Foggy And Wet Kaibab
It rained and rained some more at Northern Arizona’s Kaibab National Forest.
The Elusive Kaibab Squirrel
This is not the best photo of the white-tailed Kaibab Squirrel but he was playing hardball with me. This squirrel is endemic to the Kaibab National Forest and thinks he owns the place. Never stays still and when pressed, climbs up the tall Ponderosa Pines and behind the branches. I’ll try again this week to shoot(ahem photograph) him. He must think I’m paparazzi.
At least you have an idea why he’s camera shy. That bright white tail!
FYI. The 2nd image was an enhanced one of the first image using the AI editor feature here at WP which I won’t use ever again because that would be cheating.
The Pristine Kaibab National Forest
You may remember the video post showing the fire damaged area of Kaibab National Forest from summer of 2025, Link . Here’s a flyover video from last week showing the area not damaged. The western part of the North Kaibab which is adjacent to Grand Canyon National Park.
