Snow, rain and fog invaded Zion National Park the other day and fortunately my camera was available!

Wire Pass- Barely Passable
Wire Pass, along the Utah/Arizona border is a prelude to the more famous Buckskin Gulch. Unfortunately, Buckskin was full of water after recent rains so my friends Ali, Thomas and I settled for the narrow Wire Pass.
On The Edge Of The Grand Canyon
My friend and fellow blogger, Ali Erdmann, visited the Grand Canyon for the first time recently and was overwhelmed. However, it didn’t take her long to embrace the canyon and venture to its edge. Thankfully she is an experienced rock climber and yoga practitioner. These images were shot from the North Rim at Grand Canyon National Park.
The Grand Grand Canyon
From last week’s trip to the North Rim.
You drive through thick Ponderosa Pine forests to get to the rim.
Along with Aspen Tree Forests
Coalmine Canyon
Coalmine Canyon in Northern Arizona straddles the Navajo and Hopi Indian Reservations. Both claim Coalmine Canyon as theirs but whichever way you slice it, Coalmine is magnificent. I recently met a Hopi Indian Tribal Leader traveling through Zion National Park and she informed me that photography and painting are not allowed on Hopi land. She did offer to show me their land, which the Hopi deem very sacred. I plan to follow up with her next time I visit the area.
On this day, gusting winds reaching 50 mph made photography difficult if fruitless, but I managed and hopefully all of these images are on Navajo Tribal Land.
Ha Ho No Geh Canyon
It’s on Hopi Tribal land and is rarely visited by the Hopi or outsiders. These images are from a few years ago but I plan to revisit in a few weeks. If anyone wants to join me in exploring this remote and stark landscape near Tuba City Arizona, let me know. There are primitive places to camp there.
Annual Winter Visit To Bryce
I actually got up at 4:45am to make the 2 hour drive to Bryce Canyon National Park in time for sunrise. (Not a morning person). A fresh blanket of snow was a motivation for me.
