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.

Grand Canyon Drama

Recent monsoons have passed through Grand Canyon National Park the last 5 weeks, bringing much-needed rain and angry skies. Click on image for a larger view.

The Caineville Badlands

These are near Factory Butte badlands and not as stark but do have appeal. I need to explore this area more.

The Mineral rich badlands of Caineville Butte is composed of Mancos Shale while sulfur and gypsum deposits provide the yellow colort during erosion and weathering over millions of years.

Unreal Landscapes At Factory Butte

It’s hard to fathom how this landscape in Southern Utah looks like it does but you have to get in the air to experience it yourself. This video saves you the trouble of getting airborne.

The Incomparable Bentonite Hills

It’s in Southern Utah and only appreciated from above. It was 107 degrees when I filmed this and there was no shade as nothing grows in this area.
